Health and Recreation

Germantown United Methodist Church

We provide health, fitness, and recreational opportunities for the members of Germantown United Methodist Church and the surrounding community. Through our many programs and classes you will be provided with the tools and necessities needed to set and meet your goals.

Group Exercise Classes. We offer over 40 group exercise classes a week! All instructors are CPR certified and hold national certifications in the areas in which they teach. You do not need an annual membership to attend any OLEC group
exercise classes.


This Week’s News:

September OLEC Special. Purchase a 10-class punch card during the month of September and receive one FREE Zumba class! This class will help you “ditch the workout and join the party” as you dance your way to a full-body workout.

New Kickboxing Class. Please join us in welcoming Jack Douglas to the OLEC to teach our brand new Kickboxing classes!

Please stop by the front desk at the lobby between August 17-31 to pick up your new membership card from Erica Puryear, membership coordinator. The church strongly encourages each OLEC member to pay a one-time donation of $10 in exchange for your new membership card. This upgrade, based on member feedback, was made in an effort to improve your member benefits and overall experience at the OLEC.
