Exercise space under development at JRMCC
A renovation of a garage at the Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Centre (JRMCC) will be used as an exercise space for various programs.
Work on the project began about a month ago and it is expected to be completed by the end of August. Fitness centre supervisor Emma Smallwood explained a business hasn’t occupied the space for some time and it was being used for storage of equipment, kayaks and other miscellaneous items.
“As our CrossFit and youth strength conditioning classes have been growing, we needed another space to have those,” she said.
“Also, because our events at the JRMCC have gotten super busy as well, we would constantly be moving our equipment in and out and trying to collaborate schedules, so it would just be a lot easier if we could have our own space specifically for fitness classes. I talked to my boss and he was all good with it, so we went ahead.”
