Blanco County residents don't have to drive to Bulverde or Boerne or Dripping Springs to find exercise options... Gem of the Hills is expanding its fitness center to include an area for balance, core, flexibility and functional training. The new space will complement the area already available for strength and cardiovascular exercise. The new "Gym at the Gem" is designed to meet the needs of the entire Blanco community. Seniors will find what they need to stay active. Women can use the space for the functional training and flexibility work that appeals most to females, and guys will still have the weight training equipment they enjoy.

Not only is the gym more versatile, but there will be even more fitness classes available soon. Come and take a look at the gym, and sign up for one or more of the available classes. Have you ever wondered about Tai Chi or yoga? Are you curious about weight training and if it is right for you? Do you have some exercise equipment you never really learned how to use? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, come out and visit the Gym at the Gem.
