Group exercise classes

We are excited to announce that locker room renovations will start Monday, Sept. 16, 2024!  All personal items must be removed from the locker rooms, including locker contents and locks, before that date. 

Barring anything unforeseen, the Turner pool will remain operational throughout the renovation project.  Alternative changing rooms and restrooms will be made available; however, there will be no lockers available during the renovation. 

The remaining portion of any locker rental affected by the renovations will be applied to a new locker rental after renovations are complete.
