Repeating their “best of” win from the last three years, Courthouse locations provide a free hour with trained personnel to show you how everything’s done so you won’t hurt yourself while you’re getting ready for beach season. That little bikini you’ve promised yourself is really within your reach. You can swim and take scuba classes in their pools, sweat it out on any number of high-tech machines, lift weights, play tennis or racquetball, or take a pilates or aerobic class at almost any hour of the day.

We all could take better care of our bodies. That’s the premier reason weight concerns are at the top of our list of goals. Many of us make the same resolution every year. Well, Jackson, there is no excuse for not keeping that resolution this year. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, maintain your current weight, or get fit for the upcoming beach season, Courthouse Racquet & Fitness Centers have the gurus and the equipment to help you accomplish your goals. Indoor pools, tennis courts, monstrous weight rooms, cardio rooms, aerobics classes, yoga classes and day care make it difficult to find excuses not to go. Or if the YMCA, The Club or Baptist Healthplex are more to your liking, that’s OK, too. You have no excuse. Really, you don’t.

For those interested in staying in shape, losing a few pounds or becoming an overall healthier person, the Courthouse offers programs and facilities that are hard to compete with. The Courthouse, Best of winner in 2004 as well, provides kids’ activities, seniors’ activities and activities for everyone in the middle. Tennis, racquetball, volleyball, wallyball, and basketball are among the competitive sports available at the Courthouse.
Baptist Healthplex and the YMCA tied this year for second place. Baptist Healthplex offers a variety of activities and all their trainees have degrees in exercise science, which means customers are able to work with professionals who have a good knowledge level about exercise. There’s something for everyone at the YMCA, too, and a welcoming atmosphere (the Fortification Street Y is a favorite of the JFP staff). Third place went to Fitness Lady. Some of the things that attract women to this facility include the 130 aerobic classes, 20 treadmills, free childcare and tanning beds.

If you are wondering about the kids, The Courthouse offers nursery hours to fit just about any schedule. And, there are also activities especially for them, like after school and summer camp and swim teams. Early fitness training is a great way to start them off right.
