Schwinn Airdyne bikes are also available. Orientation Classes to use the equipment are held with a certified exercise instructor when the class fills with participants or as needed. After an orientation session to the equipment, members are welcome to use the equipment anytime during Senior Center hours. Participants must fill out a liability form which is available from the instructor or the office. A Physicians Release must also be filled out in order to participate.
