We pledge to make a positive difference in the quality of your life. 

We do it through:

• affordable memberships

• a full range of well maintained, state-of-the-art fitness
  equipment & programming

• introductory & advanced training for all ages & ability levels 

• diversity of members in age, ability, & background

• spacious, beautiful and clean facilities – formal & informal 
  opportunities to socialize & interact with your peers in a 
  relaxing & informal setting. 

Belong to a special club that truly cares for you, that feels like home and creates an informal oasis of well being. 

A gracious and generous financial gift from Dora Ritter, a lifelong resident of the City of Darlington, makes this Wellness Center possible. Because of her belief in the need to develop a facility designed to promote health, we have named this facility the Dora Ritter Wellness Center. We thank Dora and her family for the health benefits and recreational opportunities that the Wellness Center will provide its members for many years to come. The Wellness Center opened in October of 1998.
