In 1985 Franklin, NC did not have an indoor swimming facility. After investigating many options, Dr. Ed Morris was able to form a limited partnership of local investors to build Franklin Health and Fitness Center. The Center opened its doors in August of 1988.
The goal of the Center was to provide a place where individuals and families could enjoy all the benefits of regular exercise at an affordable price. Since opening we have expanded the facility, added many new classes, and new, modern fitness equipment.
Both the owners and management are committed to continuing to provide the very best fitness center possible for all our members. New Cardio equipment! Life Fitness Ellipticals Motus Treadmills Expresso Bikes, with Personal TV's Interactive courses We have clean, comfortable locker rooms and shower areas complete with a dry sauna.
Nautilus Machines A 30 minute workout 2 to 3 times per week will provide an optimal level of strength and flexibility improvement. Variable resistance, special safety features, and supervision will ensure you will get the most from your session. Free weights offer a more specific approach to resistance training. Through a variety of equipment and routines you can fine tune your goals for weight gain or loss and physical improvement.
Cardiocascular Equipment The variety of machines we have provide a well rounded cross-training opportunity for all. The following cardiovascular equipment is available: stairmasters, treadmills, air-dyne bicycles, expresso bikes, concept II rower, and elliptical trainers.
Racquetball Racquetball remains an excellent form of aerobic conditioning that enhances hand-eye coordination and provides fun competition for any age. Periodic clinics and tournaments round out an exciting program. Reservations may be made up to two days in advance.
Free Weights We have Cybex benches and a Cybex cable cross machine that can perform dozens of different exercises and sport specific moves such as the arm swing used in golf or the arm motions used by a swimmer against the resistance of the weights and pulleys. This has been a great addition to the full line of tried and true Nautilus equipment.
