Finding a place to Exercise

Good places to start

Ask friends or other people in your neighborhood where they go for recreation.
Look in the telephone book and local newspaper to find places that offer fitness or recreation programs in your community.
Call your local library or Chamber of Commerce for ideas.

Questions to ask when you contact places

Where are you located?
What recreation opportunities do you offer?
What are the time and dates of your programs?
How do you sign up to get started?
Are facilities accessible for persons with disabilities?
Do you offer any programs that are good for beginners?
How do you apply for financial assistance, if needed?
