Rec Center Revisions

The Pickleball courts at the Rec Center are more than likely to be filled with aficionados of the increasingly popular sport.

Recently Family Fitness and the Fremont Rec Center parted ways leaving some questions about the changes, so we contacted Interim Director Dawn Finch to get a little info.
 
N3-Family Fitness is no longer operating at the Fremont Rec Center.  What does this mean for those who had memberships? 
 We will be honoring the memberships people had with Family Fitness, but as those memberships expire, people will need to then get a Rec Center membership.  If people choose to renew their membership with Family Fitness, then they will need to workout at the nearest Family Fitness location which I believe is in North Muskegon.
 
N3-What services are available. Is it open 24/7?
Having a Rec Center membership means that you can use the workout room, the pool and the gymnasium.  The 24/7 access will stop at the end of January
 
 N3-What are the current fees for joining the Rec center? Any services not included? 
A Family Membership (for up to 5 people) is $40/month.  Additional family members can be added for $5/person per month.  An Individual Membership is $20/month and a Student Membership is $15/month.  And again, your membership lets you use any of the facilities you wish. For example, you could go and lift weights and use the exercise equipment, then move on to the pool for lap swim, and then go into the gym and shoot some hoops.  Exercise classes like Senior Water Exercise Club or Yoga are extra.
 
N3-If I don't wish to join but want to play Pickleball or swim. What is the charge?
A Day Pass will cost you $5.  We also have punch cards available for $25 which gives you six (6) drop-ins for the price of five (5).
 
N3-We hear a lot of confusion about who  runs the Rec Center. We are  aware there is a board but is it tied to the city in any way? 
The Rec Center was developed as part of the City of Fremont's  2012-2016 Recreation Master Plan and it is its own entity. We do have a nine member board made up of people living in the City of Fremont, Dayton Township, and Sheridan Township.  There is currently a vacancy for Dayton Township and we welcome anyone from that township to submit an application to join the board.
