A Place for the Whole Family
While your 5–7 year-old trains in Dragonfly, the rest of the family can train at VCF too. Victor Community Fitness offers group fitness, strength training, conditioning, boxing, yoga, and additional class options for adults and older children.
Our Family Plan makes it more affordable for immediate family members to train together. The first family member pays the regular membership rate, and eligible additional family members receive discounted membership pricing.
Our goal is bigger than providing a place to exercise. We want VCF to be a community where families can build strength, healthy habits, friendships, and a positive relationship with movement together.
