Fitness Center Better Gym

While there are so many great benefits to joining a gym, consider JJC's Fitness Center instead - it may be a better fit for your busy lifestyle as a student. Take a look at five reasons why the Fitness Center (located on Main Campus, G-1018) is better than your average gym below.

Membership only costs $25 a semester for students and $45 for community members. If you compare that to the cost of an average gym - which can range from $10 to $100 per month - you'll realize you're getting a steal!
