The fitness mission is to promote health and wellness within the JCA family and general community by providing state of the art exercise equipment in a clean and friendly environment, professional and certified staff to provide advice, motivation and guidance, programming and special events to serve the JCA family and general community and an environment where members and guests feel welcome and want to return again and again.

The JCA’s 4,500-square-foot Fitness Center features 100 pieces of strength and cardiovascular equipment.  Featuring Cybex treadmills, Arc Trainers, and steppers, PreCor ellipticals, and Star Trac bikes on the cardio deck. Center floor is a full line of Technogym selectorized machines, a PreCor free standing cable station, and two Free Motion cable stations to help you increase your strength. Along the circumference of the room are a variety of weight benches, free weight rack, squat/bench racks and small apparatus. Check out our personal trainer page for more information on our personal trainers and rates or call Ali Helms, fitness director at ext. 324.

Need help getting started?
We do not expect anyone to walk in and know how to use every piece of equipment, so as part of your membership, we include a FREE orientation session with a personal trainer. The orientation session is designed to teach you how to use and set up each machine; teach you proper weight lifting form & technique; and "orient" you to the gym so that "all those machines" are less intimidating. To set up your orientation session simply stop by Membership or call the fitness center at ext. 255.

Personal Training is a great way to jump start your way back into shape, a continuous way to stay motivated, and helpful to anyone needing a personal workout plan. Look at our personal training page for more information on rates, or call Ali Helms, fitness director, at ext. 324.
