The Oklee Inn and Fitness has held an open house to showcase their new operation in the former Freedom Living Center in December and now in January. The open house in December showcased their rooms, but the open house on the 7 & 8 of January was to highlight their new Fitness Center. The Fitness Center will be open for members from January till April, and if there is enough interest, it may stay open through the summer. 

The Fitness Center will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week, with 24/7 as soon as the new access locks are installed. Membership fees will be as follows:

Individual membership - $25.00 a month. Couple membership - $40.00 a month. Family membership (up to 4 members) $70.00 a month with each additional family member fee of $15.00 a month.

The type of equipment available to the members include treadmills, an exercise bike, an elliptical machine, and two weight machines. 

There is some paperwork to fill out for your membership, covering the fees, health information, and rules and regulations a person needs to follow. But just think, no more having to run to another town to get a workout to improve your health, so close to home. 

Other services available now available in the Oklee Inn and Fitness Center include a massage therapist, who  is setting up shop in the Oklee Inn and Fitness building and will be available for appointments soon.
