A new year brings new excitement to the Westside Community Center with the opening of a fitness center. Jessica Hickman, NASM Certified Personal Trainer and owner of “31:17 Training” will open the fitness center on Mondays from 3:30-7:30 pm and on Thursdays from 2-7 pm. There is no charge to use the equipment during these hours. Boot Camps are also being formed. These camps are reasonably priced and are based on age and agility. For more information, please contact Jessica at 719-385-7920 ext. 211 or jessica@3117training.com. 

Another area of emphasis for 2012 will be middle school age children. This is the result of the 80904 health report taken by the UCCS’ Beth-El School of Nursing students. Their assessment will provide guidelines so that professionals with expertise in personal, social, physical, and emotional development of middle school age children may be incorporated into the center. The goal is to make a difference in the lives of middle school kids on the Westside.
