Learn more on this page: Getting to the SSC.

Should I choose Silver or Gold membership?

If you plan to take at least one fitness class per week (not including the ones that are free: Zumba Gold, Line Dancing, Latin Dance and Kinima.fit), then we recommend you purchase the Gold Membership to save money over the course of the year.

How do you keep membership fees so low?

We rely on generous support from local businesses and individuals to keep our annual fees as affordable as possible. (We are not municipally funded, so donations and partnerships are critical to our work!) If you’re interested and able, please consider supporting the SSC.

Still have questions? Please contact us or stop by the Center any time! We’d love to help you.
