Fitness Center

The Hurst Recreation Center opens at 6:30am Monday - Friday allowing participants to workout before going to work in the mornings. Fitness Center participants must be 16 years of age and have a Quality of Life Recreation Card or a photo ID to work out.

The Recreation Center’s state-of-the-art Fitness Center has all the equipment you need for a well-rounded fitness program. Our Cardio Room has LifeFitness treadmills, ellipticals, stairclimbers, recumbent bikes, and an upright bike. Each of the 10 treadmills, and 9 ellipticals have 15” LED screens that allow you to watch TV while you work out. You can also use your iPod to manage your songs/playlists, or watch video while working out on the treadmills and ellipticals.

The newest cardio equipment, which was delivered on December 15, 2010, are our two TechnoGym Crossover units. The Crossover has a unique lateral motion for the legs, and allows an upper body workout similar to that of an elliptical crosstrainer. We invite you to try out these two new pieces of cardio equipment.

The Cardio Room also has Concept II rowing machines, NuStep seated crosstrainers, and flexibility/stretch stations by Precor and True Fitness. Participants using the recumbent bikes, upright bike, stairclimbers, and NuSteps can use our Cardio Theater system to watch any of 4 TV’s while working out.

In addition to our Cardio Room, there are 18 pin-selectorized strength stations (Cybex, Nautilus, LifeFitness Signature Series) located on the second floor. Also, on the second floor there is a separate area with four (4) plate loaded strength stations, a complete set of dumbbells ranging from 5-70 pounds (in 5 lb. increments), various benches, a LifeFitness Dual Adjustable Pulley station, and flexibility/stretching stations by Precor and True Fitness.

The Fitness Center also has two (2) Fitness Center Coordinators on staff to assist patrons with the use of all of the fitness equipment including orientation sessions for new members. The Fitness Center Coordinators are also available, by appointment, for fitness evaluations, and personal training sessions.
