Auburn Community Center offers 40 weekly fitness classes, membership tiers and climbing wall programming
Summary
City recreation staff outlined fitness programming at the Auburn Community Center — 40 weekly classes, tiered memberships, drop-in options, a climbing wall and a yin-yoga workshop with a sound bath in November.
Kirsten Lang, recreation coordinator for the City of Auburn, said the Auburn Community Center offers about 40 fitness classes per week, including Zumba, yoga, Pilates, strength and cardio offerings as well as specialty classes such as “group fight,” tai chi and SilverSneakers classes.
Lang said most classes are accessible to beginners. “Most of our classes are yoga flow…want them to be open to anyone,” she said. The city offers a membership that covers unlimited classes and gym access; Lang said the membership price is $25 per month for residents 50 and older and $30 per month for those 49 and under. Membership includes full access to the fitness center and open gym programs such as pickleball.
Workshops and facilities: Lang announced a yin-yoga workshop with a sound bath scheduled for Nov. 7 and described climbing-wall programming and summer climbing camps. The climbing wall hosts open climbs and seasonal camps; Lang said the wall operates May 1 through Oct. 1 for the season noted on the podcast.
Why it matters: the community center provides year-round fitness and recreation options and serves as a hub for popular drop-in activities such as pickleball and open-gym periods. Lang emphasized safety: city programs require helmets when using the city’s bike equipment and stress appropriate supervision for youth programs.
Access and registration: classes are drop-in or membership-based and residents can register at the community center or the city’s recreation web pages. Lang encouraged newcomers to try beginner-level classes and noted the community center maintains a schedule of classes and membership options online.
