Campbell River Sportsplex adds some weights

CAMPBELL RIVER, B.C. – There are a few new additions to the weight room inside the Campbell River Sportsplex.

New, modern weight room equipment and a free-weight stack were delivered and installed in the Sportsplex weight room at the end of August.

“Our refreshed and modern weight room was up and running with 16 new pieces of equipment and the free weights as of 5:45 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 31,” said City of Campbell River fitness supervisor Mary Fast.

Weights can be adjusted on each new machine, and some machines offer a variety of options for strength training exercises.

“Since we re-opened the Sportsplex weight room, people have had great things to say about the change,” Fast added.

The Sportsplex weight room is open seven days a week (Monday to Friday, 5:45 a.m. to 9:30 p.m, and Saturday and Sunday, 8:45 a.m. to 4 p.m.)

“Nationally and provincially-certified fitness staff are available during supervised weight room times to introduce you to all of the equipment and give you tips to help you get the work out that is right for you,” Fast says. “Whether you are new to strength training or are have been doing it for a while our staff are always happy to help.”

The City offers membership and drop-in rates. No-fee-to-join memberships options include a 10-visit pass. Or, you can get a one, three, six, nine and 12-month pass.

LIFE funding (supporting low-income residents) is available for fitness classes and weight room visits.
