FITNESS CENTER
The Wood River Fitness Center is located inside Wood River High School and is open to the entire community at no cost*! The Fitness Center is on the upper level of the new gym, and can be accessed via the Theater Lobby entrance using a keyless entry system. Once inside the Theater Lobby, either go up the stairs or down the hall and around the corner to the elevator to get to the upper level. There you will find fitness amenities for all fitness levels, including: walking track, treadmills, ellipticals, Nu-Step rehab bike, spinning bikes, strength machines, hand weights, and a circuit training system.
THANK YOU to the Wood River Foundation for their grant in December 2017 to purchase the two Peloton bikes and five LeMond spinning bikes! The Peloton bikes have both live and prerecorded classes in their system from their New York studio – something for all fitness levels. Just create an account when you first get on then you’ll enter your user ID and password after that to choose your class, record your results, and track your progress!
On May 3rd 2018, the Wood River Foundation participated in the Go Big Give campaign to raise $10,000 for the Wood River Fitness Center. With to the community’s generous support, we reached the goal! The Wood River Community Centennial Foundation and the Wood River Vision Fitness Center task force thank everyone who participated. Whether you made a donation or stopped out to learn more about the fitness center facility, it was great to have everyone’s support. The $10,000 fundraising goal was reached, so the task force was able to move forward with the two top priority projects identified by the January 2018 fitness center community survey.
Padded flooring has been ordered for a portion of the fitness center. Anyone interested in teaching fitness classes (Zumba, Jazzercise, etc.) is invited to contact a member of the task force via the fitness center’s Facebook page @woodriverfitness or by calling the school at 308-583-2249.
Please follow Facebook @woodriverfitness to stay informed of progress!
