Notes

What sets Fitness First apart is its inclusive, family-oriented approach with programs for every age and ability, including specialized senior (Silver Sneakers accepted) and youth offerings. As a privately owned club, it prioritizes community over intimidation, with passionate staff delivering expert guidance and social events like holiday parties and toy drives. Unique highlights include the largest Spinning® studio locally, NASA-backed JumpSport for low-impact calorie burn, partnerships (e.g., Waterwonders for swim lessons), and a commitment to lifelong fitness in a fun, supportive space. Currently hiring for cleaning/maintenance and membership sales roles.
