Equipment Orientations

Adult equipment orientations

Equipment Orientations are a great way to learn more about the fitness equipment at the Lenexa Rec Center. They will help you become more comfortable and confident while exercising.

One equipment orientation is included per year with your membership (ages 16+), and we will customize it to your interests.


Youth equipment orientations

While access to our fitness equipment and Group X classes is intended for patrons who are age 16 or older, youth between the ages of 12 and 15 can be granted access after they complete a youth equipment orientation. Individuals under the age of 12 are not permitted to attend or otherwise participate in any Group X class and/or use the Rec Center’s fitness equipment under any circumstances.

Youth equipment orientations last approximately 30 minutes and are free. They are available on a drop-in basis on Tuesdays from 5 to 7 p.m. Or you can schedule an orientation another time.

Youths must be accompanied by a guardian to the orientation. 

Once they have completed a youth equipment orientation and are ready to use the equipment or take a class, they must first check in at the fitness desk upon each visit to receive a youth access wristband. 


Schedule an orientation

You can schedule an adult or youth equipment orientation in person, by calling 913.477.7529 or online. You must schedule your orientation at least four hours in advance and no more than 60 days out.
