Our Fitness Center at Friendly House has been in dire need of a remodel and thanks to generous donations from our community – Ohio Health, Mansfield Police Department, Metrich Enforcement Unit, and the TPK Group.  We have an updated Fitness Center with updated equipment and a great new atmosphere!  Members are able to use the Friendly House Fitness Center Monday – Friday from 7:00am-6:00pm.

The Fitness Center cardio machines includes Stair Machines, an Exercise Bike, and a Treadmill.  We have body weight stations including padded floors, pull up bars, a Dip Station Power Tower and a Roman Chair.  Also included are two brand new Functional Trainers with 200lbs of weight stacks in 10lb increments.  There are attachments for each trainer including: short and long bars, ankle straps, dual stirrup handles, single and double rope handles, and single and double D handles.  The Functional Trainers give the options for hundreds of exercises.  Other plated equipment include a Nautilus style ab machine, arm curl and bench press.  Included in our Fitness Center are four barbell stations, including a Smith Machine, Squat Rack, Incline Bench and Flat Bench.  Our free plates are both 1 and 2 inch rounds.  We also have some dumb bells.  

If you feel we should add additional or other equipment, please speak to a staff member. 

A special thank you goes out to Mason Willeke, Exercise Physiologist at Ohio Health who helped Friendly House plan the update and was able to secure a donation of equipment for the facility.
