Fitness Center

Our health and wellness center (HAWC) features an elevated indoor track, separate free weight and personal training areas, and many different machines such as treadmills and rowers. The HAWC opens weekdays at 5:30 am, Saturdays at 7:30 am and Sundays at 11:00 am, and closes 15 minutes prior to the closing of the main building.

Orientation

Members ages 14 and over can make an appointment to meet individually with one of our certified fit floor attendants, who provide instruction on how to use the equipment. They can also help members set up a personalized exercise program on Fitlinxx, our computerized fitness trainer. Youth ages 14-17 do not need to be accompanied by an adult to use the HAWC.

All children ages 11-14 are required to participate in a fitness orientation before using the equipment in our HAWC. The orientation will focus on proper form and body alignment. Participants will be shown the equipment suitable for their age and size during the orientation. Youth will receive a customized workout plan using our “Fitlinxx” computer program. To sign up for a youth orientation contact 301-663-5131 ext. 1245. Once youth ages 11-14 complete the orientation, they are permitted to use the HAWC as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Children ages 10 and under are not allowed to exercise or stay in the Health and Wellness area.
