Senior center offers members fully equipped exercise room

Exercise is a popular activity at the Waxahachie Senior Activity Center.

Center director John Smith said the gym is usually “very busy” in the mornings.

According to their website, they have a “fully equipped exercise room.” It includes multiple treadmills, weight machines, ellipticals, bikes, dumbbells and more. Smith said they also have machines that can be used with wheelchairs.

Once someone becomes a member, Smith said they must go through an orientation for the exercise room to learn about each machine and how to safely use them. The center has trainers who lead the orientations and who are also available to help members during the day.

The center has two exercise rooms open during business hours Monday-Friday. The eastside gym is open from 8 a.m.-noon Saturdays.
