New Fitness Center Rules Designed To Prevent Teen Loitering

Later this month, the Twinsburg Fitness Center will begin new rules that limit when children and young teens can be at the center unsupervised.

Parents take note: Later this month, rules are changing regarding how children and younger teens can use the Twinsburg Fitness Center.

Twinsburg officials want students to use the fitness center to exercise and participate in the many great activities offered. What they don't want is a bunch of kids and teens loitering with nothing to do.

Starting Dec. 21, the fitness center will start using new rules that govern when kids and teens of a certain age can be at the center without supervision, according to Councilman Gary Sorace, who announced the new rules at Monday's council meeting.
