Fitness Classes

Be Well.

An integral part of projects by the Lorain County Metro Parks are the partnerships formed within the community. Through these partnerships, residents are able to take advantage of several recreational and cultural offerings around Lorain County. The Mercy Health & Recreation Center is no exception and includes partnerships with several local organizations in order to better serve the area residents.

Throughout the country, hospitals and park systems have collaborated to build and operate facilities. This is done to fully utilize space and equipment. Recreation centers are often busiest in the early morning before 8 a.m. and in the evenings after 5 p.m. and on the weekends. The down time in a recreation center is between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Health providers operate between these hours. Therefore, the marriage of these organizations to share space and equipment allows for greater utilization and cost effectiveness.

With services provided by both organizations, this facility will be a one stop shop for many as they visit the medical offices and utilize the fitness equipment and pools to improve their lives and recover from medical procedures. Both organizations will offer educational programming about health and wellness for visitors.
