Catawba Valley Medical Center Fitness Plus — Local services in Hickory

This is the best place for me. It’s a gym where I feel comfortable, and although i have gone to other gyms in the past, this is the one where I feel seen and valued despite my lack of athletic prowess or build. Even without the pool, I would still choose this gym. There is plenty of equipment for all fitness levels including rehab. For me, the pool is the crown jewel of Fitness Plus. The pool is kept warm (not hot!), which is very soothing for those with pain. There is a lap lane which can be reserved, and there are classes (AquaFit or something like that). I have never been one who enjoyed a group fitness class, but I really enjoy this one. For one, it is truly a no judgment zone.

There are more cosmetic perks too, but in shape and healthy is best for a woman heading in to her 60’s. I’ve also had a perk of losing between 7-8 pounds in first 4 weeks too! I have more balance, energy, and motivation to sticking with it to reach many goals! Thank you Dalton &...
