Choose Your Starting Point
Start with a tour.
New Year energy is great. Confusion isn’t. Come in once, get your bearings, and leave with a simple plan that fits real life. No contracts. No pressure to be “a gym person.” Just a first visit that feels clear.
- Pick the branch closest to you
- Quick walkthrough with friendly staff
- We’ll point you to a beginner-friendly starting lane
Start by moving at your pace.
If your goal is to feel better, not get crushed, start with the classes that build strength and confidence without the intimidation factor. Chair yoga, aqua fitness, and balance-focused options are a solid on-ramp for beginners, older adults, and anyone easing back in.
- Chair yoga and mobility-friendly options
- Aqua fitness / water exercise
- Balance and strength-building classes
Start with Kids Care.
For parents, the barrier isn’t motivation. It’s logistics. Kids Care (in-branch child watch) is included with membership at participating branches, so you can take a class, swim a lap, or lift in peace while they play nearby. Hours vary by location.
- Included with membership
- Supervised, age-appropriate play
- Check your branch for current hours
