“The focus of the center is to get kids active and to promote healthy lifestyles,” Honsinger said. “To do that, our equipment is very user friendly, regardless of someone’s initial fitness level. It’s multi-purpose too, which is great because we have limited space, and it also includes health rate monitoring.”
