From Mayor Bowser: A Fitter DC (January 1, 2016)
As part of FitDC’s effort to encourage residents to stay fit, I have directed the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to waive resident fees at DPR Fitness Centers starting on January 1, 2016. Previously, the fitness centers required a paid membership for access, but for 2016, those resident fees will be waived. DPR Fitness Centers offer a variety of exercise equipment, including ellipticals, stationary bikes, treadmills, free weights, universal weight machines and more!
