One of the most popular features of the Community Center is the
Prairie Lakes Fitness Center, a state of the art exercise facility.
The Fitness Center features a wide variety of Cybex strength training equipment, saunas, a whirlpool, locker rooms and much more. Members and daily users can pick up a fresh, warm towel at the front desk, and then enjoy a full body workout in a spacious, positive environment, with high vaulted ceilings and mirrored walls. The center has a Cardio Vision System which includes individual receivers on most of the fitness equipment, so you can listen to programs from your choice of six flat panel TV screens.
Come in for a tour. We're always happy to show you around!
The indoor walking/jogging track is free!
We have half-mile and three-quarter mile outdoor walking/jogging tracks.
