The Great Bend Recreation Commission offers year-round fitness classes, with
the current winter session running through Jan. 26. In an
effort to accommodate people’s New Year’s resolutions, the Rec had an option
for citizens to join the classes the first week of January.
The Recreation Commission recently purchased seven stationary bikes for spin
classes this spring, and will also be offering a suspension training class.
Great Bend Rec Enrichment Director Garet Fitzpatrick said the Rec Center is
excited to add more classes for all ages.
“Hopefully, we can generate some interest from new participants in our fitness
classes,” said Fitzpatrick. “These are maybe geared a little bit towards to
younger participants. It might draw some interest from a younger crowd for
those.”
Suspension training uses straps tied to bars along the wall. Participants use
their bodyweight to help develop strength, balance, flexibility and core
strength.
