The USD 235 School District reopened Uniontown Fitness Center to the public. The fitness center is located on the southeast corner of the junior/senior high school, and has its’ own door with a key entry.
It re-opened to the public April 13.
The fitness center was closed to the public by the administration in November 2021, because of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
It also was closed from November 2021 through March 2022 for the junior high, high school, and Kids Club Wrestling season. They previously had used the fitness center as a practice room, Superintendent Bret Howard said. The room was the former library room.
The center is open before and after school.
“The fitness center is available to our physical education classes,” he said. “Our junior high and high school classes really don’t use it as they have the weight room. Our elementary PE classes used it on Friday’s before COVID. That hasn’t resumed post-Covid at this time.”
A keycard is sold to USD235 District residents for $10, a one time fee, unless the card is lost.
“For those of you who have a keycard, those should still work,” Howard said. “To obtain a key card to access the fitness center you will need to contact Mr. Vance Eden, Principal at West Bourbon Elementary School.”
For any additional questions, contact Eden at (620) 756-4335 or Howard at (620) 756-4302.
“You will be required to sign a sheet acknowledging you will agree to follow the rules and regulations for the Uniontown Fitness Center,” he said. “You will also need to pay a one-time fee of $10. Once you have done those two things, you will be given a keycard and may begin using the Uniontown Fitness Center.”
Hours of availability to the public: Monday – Friday from 5 to 7 AM and 5:30 to 9:30 PM. Saturday and Sunday from 6 AM to 7 PM.
The fitness center first opened in 2018 following the receiving of a grant.
