Reminder ‼️
Healthy Villages Fitness Center Users:
Please make sure you are bringing a CLEAN pair of shoes to change into when using the fitness centers and please clean up after yourself when done using the exercise equipment. We have had a lot of issues with dirt being tracked into the fitness centers and on the equipment. The fitness centers are free to use, but please do your part in keeping them clean so they can remain a free fitness option for our communities! Thank you!
