The Duke Center For Living has been providing medically-based wellness programs within Fearrington Village since 2005. They boast state-of-the-art exercise machines, as well as a pool and track, but they’re more than just a gym. They also offer classes from yoga to Pilates to Zumba, not to mention special sessions that address the mind and spirit as much as the body. And their staff is one of the most helpful and skilled around, helping you to get in shape safely and effectively. They specialize in the health of older adults, but all ages and abilities are welcome.
