NEWBURYPORT — Two treadmills and a rowing machine are among the new pieces of equipment that will be available at the Newburyport Senior/Community Center later this month as the Council of Aging reopens its second-floor fitness center.
The items, along with a recumbent bike and an elliptical, come courtesy of a $25,433 gift from the Friends of the Newburyport Council on Aging. The City Council unanimously accepted the gift at its meeting March 23.
