Recreation & Fitness

The Personal Training program is to assist our members as individuals. The Fitness center utilizes VOLT for personal training.

NOTE: No personal training of any kind is allowed by outside sources.    

Volt training is built on a foundation of over 50 years of sports science research. We use that foundation to help each and everybody train safely and effectively. You’ll see inside our app that your custom training is carefully curated for step-by-step progressions that equate to serious progress. There are no random movements in every training, ensuring you’re meeting your health, fitness and performance goals.

The app will keep your gym sessions interesting and enlightening, thanks to 1000s of HD videos and instructions on every movement, so you’re learning along the way. Plus, if you don’t have the right equipment, you can easily switch movements and get your sweat on.

Pilates: An exercise system that is focused on building strength without bulk, improving flexibility and agility, and helping to prevent injury. It was developed in the 1920s by Joseph H. Pilates, who was a physical trainer and founder of The New York Pilates Studio®. It involves a series of controlled movements that engage both your body and mind. The primary focus is on awareness of the spine, proper breathing, core strength and flexibility. The outcome of Pilates training is a balanced body which is strong and supple, flat stomach, balanced legs, and a strong back.

ZUMBA: a fusion of hypnotic musical rhythms and tantalizing moves to create a dynamic workout system designed to be fun and EASY TO DO.
Zumba routines feature interval-training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. Zumba has become nothing short of a revolution.
