Fountain Inn, SC - The City of Fountain Inn’s Recreation Department is excited to announce the grand reopening of its newly renovated Fitness Center, located in The Activities and Senior Center. After a much-needed update, the facility now houses brand-new fitness equipment and extended hours to better serve the community.
Visitors to the Fitness Center can now enjoy an array of state-of-the-art equipment, including Treadmills, Recumbent bikes, Functional trainer, AMT (Adaptive Motion Trainer), Rower, and Strength machines, including a leg press/calf extension, lat pulldown, and multi-press. These upgrades not only replace outdated equipment but also expand the variety of workouts available to members, catering to different fitness levels and goals.
The Fitness Center is open Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to noon. From 7:30 a.m. to noon, the facility is exclusively for members aged 55 and older. Those under 55 can access the Fitness Center Monday through Thursday from noon to 5:00 p.m. Starting in April, the Fitness Center will extend its hours and remain open until 8:00 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays, providing more opportunities for residents to engage in their fitness routines.
The decision to renovate the Fitness Center was driven by the need for new equipment and a desire to enhance the fitness experience for Fountain Inn’s residents. “It was long overdue,” shared Director of Recreation, James Rice. “It was great to be able to give our 55+ community something new. About five years ago, the weight room size decreased, and we lost some great equipment. Since then, we’ve heard plenty of feedback from our seniors. Now, seeing their excitement and joy makes it all worth it!”
Membership Details Membership is open to individuals 18 and older. Seniors (55+) can use the facility for free, while those aged 18-54 can join for just $15 per month. All members must complete a registration process, including liability waivers, which can be done online. Seniors have the option to complete registration in person on paper, with staff uploading their information into the system. Each member will receive a check-in badge, available digitally or on paper, to use upon entry.
The City of Fountain Inn invites residents to take advantage of this newly upgraded Fitness Center and join in the excitement of a refreshed space dedicated to health and wellness.
