The Summit on the Park Fitness Center, located at 46000 Summit Parkway, will continue to remain open. Summit staff has relocated all the strength equipment throughout the facility, in order to allow for the mandated safe distancing protocols.
In addition, all Summit on the Park group fitness classes have transitioned to "Stay Fit, Stay Home, Stay Virtual" classes. Participants can choose from a variety of sessions, including: Yoga, Strength-Based classes, Zumba, Step, BEST (senior-focused classes), and more - all taught by the Summit group fitness instructors via Zoom. Summit members will have complete access to all virtual group fitness classes free of charge as part of their current Summit membership.
Canton residents and non-residents can purchase a three-week virtual membership package, which will provide unlimited access to all Summit on the Park virtual fitness classes. Fees for the "Stay Fit, Stay Home, Stay Virtual Membership" are $20 for Canton residents and $25 for non-residents. Registration is required for all classes, which will provide Zoom link and class password. For details, visit www.summitonthepark.org.
