Programs & Classes for Every Age and Stage

At Upper Merion Community Center, variety is at the core of our programming philosophy. We believe that true community support means offering a spectrum of opportunities—from gentle, therapeutic exercise to spirited, open-gym sports activities.

• Senior Chair-Ex Classes: Seniors rave about our low-impact Chair-Ex program, led by a highly qualified instructor with a background in physical therapy. For just $3 per session, participants enjoy safe, strength-building routines that promote joint health and mobility. One attendee says, “Our chair exercise instructor is 70 years young and expertly blends safety with therapeutic benefit!”

• Indoor Track & Cardio: Our climate-controlled indoor track offers a smooth, cushioned surface ideal for rehabilitation or injury-preventive workouts. Members recovering from surgery or those looking for low-impact cardio often share stories of renewed confidence as they “progressed from track walking to recumbent bikes with ease.”

• Open Gym Sports Activities: Drop in for no-cost volleyball on Thursdays, pickleball meetups, and pick-up basketball games. These free activities have become a favorite way to mix fitness with social connection. “I highly recommend the open-gym leagues—great for making new friends and staying active,” writes a longtime patron.

• Swim Lessons with Sid: Parents appreciate our carefully structured swim lessons, especially under the patient tutelage of instructors like Sid. Beginner swimmers go from fearful to confident in just a few sessions, with one mother reporting, “By his second class, my son was even kicking!”

Equipment & Space Availability

Our well-equipped gym features the latest cardio machines, free weights, resistance stations, and functional-training areas. While many find our array of machines more than adequate, peak-hour enthusiasts sometimes note that the weight room or certain courts can feel crowded. We continually monitor usage patterns and are exploring expanded hours and space reconfigurations to ensure everyone has access when they need it most.

Membership & Value

Upper Merion Community Center prides itself on transparent, budget-friendly pricing. Resident memberships start at just $20 per month with no long-term contract, providing unlimited access to the gym floor, track, group fitness classes, and free sports leagues. Day passes are available for occasional visitors, making it easy to experience all we offer before deciding on a membership. Pool-only memberships and seasonal swim access are also offered, though we recommend reviewing our clearly posted guidelines—pool passes activate Memorial Day through Labor Day, and certain activities, like court games, require general membership privileges.

Parking & Accessibility

Conveniently located minutes from major highways, our center includes three parking lots to accommodate cars, strollers, and accessible vehicles. Even during busy evening and weekend hours, most guests find a spot within a short stroll of the front doors. Families with young children and seniors have commented on wanting more spaces near the pool entrance; we’re actively evaluating options to improve curbside accessibility and streamline drop-off lanes.
