Save Money Getting in Shape at the Kulick Center Fitness Studio

(Crystal A. Proxmire, 3/6/2011)

 

The Kulick Community Center offers residents and nonresidents low cost work out options with their community fitness studio.  The studio was renovated in October 2007 to include four treadmills, four elliptical machines, two recumbent cycles, a Smith Machine, a leg press, a five station fitness center and free weights.  They also offer exercise tubes, bands, mats, stability balls and Bosu trainers, with plenty of space to stretch and work out.

 

Traditional gym memberships can cost in the hundreds of dollars, but through the Ferndale Recreation Department, people in the area have a safe, low-cost gym alternative.  “We have a few regulars in the mornings,” said Recreation Director Julie Hall, “and it gets a little busy in the evenings.  There are people who come on their lunch breaks when it is less crowded.”

There is a one-time $5 membership fee to pay for your card.  Waivers must be signed by everyone age 18 and older.  Teens from 16-18 may join, but must have a parent sign a waiver.  Youth age 12-16 must have a parent or guardian in attendance with a valid membership and a signed waiver.

 

 

After that, members just swipe their card to check in, and enjoy.  Staff is on hand if members need help learning to use the equipment.  There is no locker room, but there are restrooms and drinking fountains in the building.

 

Registration may be done online at www.ferndalerecreation.org, or in person at the Kulick Community Center at 1201 Livernois.  Monies collected from Fitness Studio memberships helps to support the Kulick Community Center and it’s programs.

Ferndale Recreation also offers low cost group activities for adults, children and seniors, including classes and team sports.  Their website, www.ferndalerecreation.org gives complete program information.
