Turn fall into fitness at the Renaud Center!

The changing leaves around us are a reminder to keep your fitness routine colorful, and the Renaud Center is here to help you elevate your workout this season!

Following our shutdown week from September 6–12 for facility-wide cleaning and renovation, we’re reopening with a refreshed look and a new lineup of weightshredding fitness classes and family-focused programs and events.

Hit the fitness center and discover your newest favorite machine, or dive into the Natatorium’s 10,000-square-foot pool for a full-body aqua aerobics workout. Join a different fitness class, or “upgrade” your membership and try them all! No matter what your goals are, a Renaud Center membership helps you every step of the way on your fitness journey.

Plus, you can turbocharge your workouts with personal training and one-onone sessions taught by certified fitness instructors who will help you get the most out of your workouts.

Keep your “summer bod” all year long at the Renaud Center. Turn to page 7 to learn more about O’Fallon’s hometown gym & recreation center.
