Parrish Health and Fitness Center reopened its doors on Feb. 2 after being closed since 2020 due to the Covid pandemic.
The pool, closed in 2023, is undergoing renovation and is expected to reopen in 2027.
Parrish Health and Fitness Center is now in partnership with the YMCA of Central Florida, which is operating the facility.
“Our shared mission is to improve health and well-being across Brevard County,” said Kevin Bolding, the president and CEO of the YMCA of Central Florida.
While the YMCA manages daily fitness and wellness operations, Parrish Healthcare maintains an on-site clinical presence.
Group exercise classes include yoga, Zumba and Zumba Gold for seniors, Silver Sneakers for seniors, cycling, basic fitness, as well as specialty classes such as Rock Steady Boxing for individuals battling Parkinson’s disease.
These classes are enhanced by up-to-date fitness equipment, personal training and additional wellness programs.
We cater to seniors and their needs,” said Chrissy Howard, the executive director overseeing the Fitness Center.
The Silver Sneakers program is designed for seniors.
“Using a ball, a chair, light weights and other tools, we focus on coordination, balance, stability and strength,” said Debbie Kowaleuski, the fitness supervisor for Silver Sneakers.
YMCA membership is $35 per month. It includes access to the YMCA at 2400 Harrison St. and all Central Florida locations.
“Those who qualify may sign up for a free supplemental program. Qualification depends on the individual’s insurance provider. People may come in to discuss their eligibility,” Howard said.
The exercise may continue on the grounds, along an inviting half-mile walking path. It is open to the public.
The Parrish Health and Fitness Center is at 2200 Cheney Highway in Titusville. The hours are 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday; and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. It is closed on Sunday.
