Fitness FloorThe Fitness Floor is located on the second level.  The vaulted ceilings and wooden trusses open up to an expansive area furnished with state of the art fitness equipment.  Patrons have full use of cardio, free weight, plate loaded and selectorized equipment, along with a 3-lane indoor running/walking track.  There are Fitness Floor attendants to assist with workouts and use of equipment.  In addition, a certified team of personal trainers can create a personal training program to meet your specific needs.  
 
Group Fitness Program
Our Group Fitness Program provides a variety of great workouts that can be tailored to fit your schedule and budget.  Our current group fitness schedule and fitness descriptions are now online.  There are 4 ways to attend Group Fitness classes. 

The first way is to register for just the class(es) you want to attend.  This will allow you to reserve your spot in the class and save money. 

If you don't want to be overly committed to a specific time or class, or would just like to try everything once, then purchase either an unlimited quarterly pass or a punch card.  Punch cards never expire, but if you plan on attending 5 or more classes per week, the unlimited quarterly pass is a better value.

If you just want to try one class, you may choose to purchase a class drop in pass for $4.

Pass Holders have access to the fitness equipment, walking/running track, and the pools.  The Fitness Floor may be used by those currently enrolled in Grade 7 or older.  Participants, especially teens, are strongly encouraged to attend a free, one-hour fitness orientation.  Orientations can be scheduled by calling ahead to make an appointment with Fitness Center staff.

The Worthington Parks and Recreation Department offers a wide variety of programs and services.  Each of these may be utilized for an additional fee.  These programs are open to all and are not limited to Pass Holders.

Pass Refund Policies
Annual / Monthly Passes are non-refundable and non-transferable, except in cases of hardship.  Refunds for hardship cases (military duty, medical or out of area moves) may be requested with a letter submitted to the Director, accompanied by proof of hardship.
