Fitness Center in Our Community
It is so nice to have a fitness center right here in our 55 and over community.
It’s after Thanksgiving and everyone agrees something needs to be done to keep the holiday pounds in check.
On Site Fitness Center
Our fitness center is in our clubhouse here at Village at Deaton Creek. right in the middle of our community at the clubhouse or activities center as some may call it. It is one mile from my home. Many people just walk down to the fitness center, but I usually drive the 3 minutes to get to our clubhouse without getting out on any public highway.
Today there were people coming in to the gym to start their post Thanksgiving workouts today. One lady said “I have got to quit eating so much!”. A gentleman heard that and said, “I enjoyed every bite of food!”. Another commented that it was hard to start coming back after being off for a few days.
I suppose after the first of the year, the gym will be crowded, but I have never had a problem getting to the exercise machines, as there is an adequate number of them to handle the demand.
We have a long line of treadmills and a couple of rows of recumbent bikes. Then we have a free weights section, a punching bag, a stretching pad and a bar/mirror area with bands and balls for more stretching. I like that our equipment is keep in good repair and replaced with newer models often.
The clubhouse operating hours are Monday to Saturday 6am to 10pm and Sunday from 10am until 8pm. Open just about anytime you want to visit.
Personal Trainer Available
Here at our Del Webb Community, we have a personal trainer in our gym 3 days a weeks. She works as an independent contractor but also gives free instructions of how to use the fitness equipment. This is a real benefit. The following is from our community newsletter and covers some benefits of working out and using a personal trainer for us age 55 and better.
Aerobics: Cardio and Floor Exercise Room
This room is used for organized exercise classes like the Cardio Scupt class which I take and others like Cardio Strength & Tone, Zumba Gold, and several dance classes as well.
Fitness at the Indoor and Outdoor Pools
Many people like to exercise at the indoor pool this time of year. A couple of lap lanes are set up for those really dedicated swimmers and interesting classes are offered like the popular Water Weights and Water Aerobics. Then there is the fun Water Polo matches and the artful Water Synchronized swimming.
If all this leaves you sore, then there is the bubbling hot spa to relieve your pain!
These are wonderful indoor fitness facilities to have right here in our community. These amenities are another good reason to live in a 55+ Active Adult Community.
