One of the most popular features of the Community Center is the
Prairie Lakes Fitness Center, a state of the art exercise facility.
Completely renovated in the fall of 2006, the Fitness Center features
a wide variety of Cybex strength training equipment, new saunas,
updated locker rooms and much more. Members enjoy a full body
workout in a spacious, positive environment, with high vaulted ceilings
and mirrored walls. In the fall of 2008 we added a Cardio Vision System which includes individual receivers on most of the fitness equipment,
so you can listen to programs on your choice of six new flat panel
TV screens.
Come in for a tour. We're always happy to show you around!
