Seniors aged 62 and beyond will soon have an opportunity to socialize and to focus on their personal fitness journey and health. The Talon Community Fitness Center, located within the Southern Door School District, will be offering free memberships starting on July 1st.
Southern Door County School District Superintendent Dr. Kevin Krutzik said the idea to offer the memberships was discussed and agreed upon by the school board in March and that the goal not only surrounds staying healthy and active, but hones in on providing a welcoming, community-focused environment for all.
“All of our citizens and our school community contribute to our school district,” said Krutzik, “this was something that our school board, with the support of the entire school community,” felt strongly about for a way to kind of give back.”
Seniors will have access to modern fitness resources and top-tier amenities including a full weight room with strength and cardio equipment, indoor turf facility, and the Eagle gym. Gym hours for summer are still being decided and will be made available to the public soon, however, the areas are accessible for members during the school year on weekdays before school (4am-7am) and after (5pm-10pm) as well on weekends from 5am-10pm. Staffed weight room hours will vary.
To sign up for a membership, those interested should contact the office at Southern Door High School at (920) 825-7333.
