Power Up!

In October of 2023 we began offering 24-hour access to the fitness and locker rooms with funding, in part, through Bayfield County Health Infrastructure Grant. To date we have over 500 members with 24-hour access. Some of these members use the facility for a shower when they are in town camping or boating, others work out after a late work shift, and others are here before the sunrises. Aubrey is one of our members who consistently fits in her gym training outside of traditional hours.

Aubrey's Story-

Aubrey has been working out at other gyms consistently for the last four years and joined the Rec Center for 24-hour access because it aligned better with her schedule. In the gym she trains as a powerlifter and outside of the gym she lives an active life taking walks and dancing at powwows. If you haven’t tried the early morning workout yet, Aubrey notes there’s nothing better than hitting a Personal Record first thing in the morning and getting a good workout in before going to work.

Powerlifting is a competitive sport that consists of three lifts: squat, bench press, and a deadlift. Aubrey trained for and participated in her first competition in April 2024 and hopes to continue competing in the future! The Rec Center has the squat rack and bench needed to train this specific type of lifting and a variety of cardio equipment to build endurance for pacing herself in the arena when attending powwows.

In addition to dancing and powerlifting Aubrey finds social and mental health by participating in her culture through Native American beadwork. She’s been making earrings and medallions for ten years and loves being able to come to the Rec Center to move her body to contrast all the sitting she does while beading.

We are proud to offer 24-hour access in response to the evolving needs of our diverse members with widely varied schedules and uses of the facility.

24-hour access is open to members who are 18+ years old. If you’re interested in 24-hour access, please apply at the front desk. A one-time $10 fee is charged for the key fob that is used to unlock the doors.
