Our Downtown Branch is housed in a 50-year-old building that has grown and changed to keep up with our growing and changing membership. Actually three buildings joined in one, this branch underwent a major remodeling in 2000 that has led to a renaissance at this historic location. Subsequent renovations have transformed this established branch into a modern fitness facility equipped to meet the needs of our members. If you haven't visited our branch lately, you'll love all the changes we've made. Your first visit is always free -- just bring a picture ID and sign in as our guest. Our facility includes:
- complete selectorized weight circuit and free weights
- more than 50 group exercise classes a week
