GCC Wellness Center Open House

The Gila Community College’s Wellness Center will hold an open house on Thursday, August 7th from 4 pm to 7 pm. The community is invited to tour the facility and visit with the staff. The classes being offered this fall at the Wellness Center include aerobics, T’ai Chi, physioball, pilates, yoga, and jogging & hiking. The fall semester starts on August 18th. In addition to the classes offered, the Wellness Center has a wide variety of equipment such as treadmills, ellipticals, weight machines, and free weights. Rather than a membership, access to the Wellness Center is gained by taking the “Physical Conditioning and Assessment” class. The friendly, competent staff will help you develop your personal fitness plan and walk you through use of the equipment.

“If you haven’t been to the Wellness Center in the past few months you should stop by and see all the changes. This spacious facility is clean and all the equipment is well maintained and in working order. I’m very proud of GCC’s accomplishments with the Wellness Center. It is a wonderful resource to the residents of our community,” said Governing Board Chairman Bob Ashford.

The Wellness Center's regular hours are Monday through Friday from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturday from 8 am to 5 pm and Sunday from Noon to 5 pm. GCC’s Wellness Center is located in the Mofford Activity Center at 367 South Devereaux Street in Globe. The Wellness Center entrance is on Maple Street between Devereaux Street & High Street.
