Your 125 LIVE membership gives you access to a pickleball court in Fitness Studio 1, the Willow Room, and our new outdoor pickleball courts (weather permitting). The fitness studios have many daily scheduled activities, so make sure to check the latest schedule to avoid any time conflicts.

From 6:30 am – 9:30 am, Monday thru Friday, the Rec Center gym will be rented and staffed by 125 LIVE staff. These times are drop-in only and are exclusively for 125 LIVE members.

Pricing:

  • Social AND Fitness members and PAID Fitness members can play at no charge.
  • Insurance-reimbursed Fitness-only members and Social-only members are subject to a $2.00 per-session visit fee (increases to $3.00 as of January 1, 2025, to coincide with Rec Center pricing).

Fitness reimbursement services, such as Silver Sneakers, Silver & Fit, and Renew Active/ One Pass explicitly encourage participating fitness facilities to bill for services above and beyond the standard scope of services that facilities are contractually required to provide. Standard services include independent use of exercise equipment and a core number of fitness classes.

Insurance-reimbursed Fitness-only members are encouraged to upgrade to a full Social & Fitness membership for $21 per month to gain unlimited access to this gym time, along with all the benefits of a full Social & Fitness membership.

Therefore, to cover the costs associated with the rental and staff of the Rec Center gym, the pricing structure outlined above reflects the full range of services provided to each membership type, ensuring that all applicable services are appropriately covered.

Please note, that members who are subject to the per-session visit fee must have a credit card on file for access; no cash payments will be accepted.
