Hey UVRC! Do you like supporting local businesses while saving money? Do you like fitness and fitness programs? Well, good news! We have been in talks with some of our local athletic, fitness, and recreation centers about ways we can help our members achieve and maintain their fitness levels. We are in agreement that as great as running is, fitness and wellness come from a diversity of activities and movements. That’s why the Carter Community Building Association (CCBA), Upper Valley Aquatics Center (UVAC), and Dartmouth Athletics are interested in providing UVRC members with a discounted membership rate! 

Now before I get into the good stuff I want to make it clear that this would be for new memberships only, sadly if you already have a membership at these lovely places you will not be eligible for the discount. That being said though, we hope that this will be a consistent relationship so there’s potential next year! 

But since this is a bit new (and somewhat of a financial risk for them), before they can commit to the discounts, they need a commitment from us. They’ve asked us to poll our membership to see who would be interested which would help us negotiate rates. To facilitate this, Kristine was kind enough to create sign-up pages for each facility, they’re links to Leb Rec just like you would use to register as a UVRC member or for the vanpools. If you’re interested in becoming a member at the CCBA, UVAC, or Dartmouth Alumni Gym, simply follow the link and “sign up”. Note that this is just a poll, not an official membership yet, but in the near-term we will be using this data to hopefully put together a membership agreement with each of these facilities! 

If you’ve never been to these gyms or want a peek at what they have to offer, here is a brief summary of their facilities, programs, and opportunities
