HALLETT CENTER UPDATES
November 16, 2021

  • REMINDER: THE SMALL POOL IS CLOSED TO MINORS UNDER 18 YEARS OLD WHEN NOT SUPERVISED BY A LIFEGUARD This decision was made in accordance with Minnesota Regulations as well as Health Fitness Corporation Standards for pool operations. It is upheld by the current acting General Manager and any complaints should be directed to them. Failure to comply could result in Membership suspension or being banned from the aquatic center. Thank you for your understanding.

    Regulation at: Sec. 144.1222 MN Statutes Subd. 2c.

  • Give to the Max 2021: Every year we work hand in hand with the Hallett Community Center Foundation. This group of dedicated volunteers have been committed to the facility since the doors were opened in 1999. The largest fundraising event the Foundation participates in is Give to the Max. Each year, the Foundation asks for donations dedicated to the Hallett Center building. Recent projects completed include the technology upgrade to the conference room, remodel of the group fitness studio and the new 24 hour key fob system. Donations during this time have a match from generous contributors including the Hallett Trusts. Consider supporting the Hallett Community Center Foundation with your generous, tax deductible donation. Online donations can be given HERE or stop by to pick up an envelope!
  • Open-Skate and Skate Sharpening Punch Cards: Punch Cards for open-skate and skate sharpening are now available for purchase. These cards will be 45$ for 5 sessions of open-skate, and 25$ for 6 skate sharpening services. There services are usually 10$ and 6$ each, respectively.

  • Friday Flexibility: We are thrilled to be offering Friday Flexibility with our own Associate Manager, Katheryn Carpenter. You may have had her as a sub instructor for some of our other group fitness classes, but now she has been gracious enough to offer a stand alone, Friday Flexibility class! The class accommodates all levels and is focused on using gentle drills to improve overall range of motion and flexibility. Sign up below just like any other group fitness class!
  • NEW Group Fitness Studio Access: The spin bikes in our group fitness studio are now available for member use during normal operating hours. The studio will remain locked during closed hours. Please make sure to continue to wipe down the spin bikes after every use just as you would any other piece of equipment. Return bikes to the side of the studio when not in use to make room for group fitness classes. This will be limited to members age 18 and over. Note that the studio will be used for group fitness classes during certain times. During these class times the bikes will not be available. Staff reserve the right to restrict any member from using the spin bikes to to misuse or failure to clean the equipment.
