Exercise and FitnessFitness Floor

The 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 3 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.  Those who register for 3 or more classes per session will receive a FREE Unlimited Card (good for that session/quarter only) allowing them to drop in on all other group fitness classes. 

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 an 8 or 16 class Punch Card. The Punch Card will allow you to attend whichever classes suit your schedule and exercise style.  Punch Cards NEVER EXPIRE and can be purchased at the Worthington Community Center Customer Service Desk. 

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

$20 Residents/Passholders
