Polar Bear Fitness Center History:

A dedicated group of area volunteers has been working to bring a spacious and updated Community Fitness Center to the Horonville School District and surrounding communities. The structure will be added to the south side of Hortonville High School next to the auditorium. The new structure will cost $1.4 million, which will be completely funded by private donations. The HASD Board has accepted the facility and costs associated with the fitness center after it has been built.

The effort began in 2005 with a small group of volunteers. The group researched thoroughly and toured several high school fitness center, including Seymour, Kimberly, and Kaukauna. With that information, they defined a preliminary scope, which resulted in the first renderings, designed by Steve Romatz, committee member and owner of Blue Design Group in Hortonville. The current HHS weight room is lacking in size, equipment and function. The new fitness center will reinforce the school district's efforts in promoting wellness through physical fitness and training. Students, both non-athletes and athletes, can enhance their performance by utilizing new fitness equipment and classes. The new facility will promote healthy lifestyles for our entire community to use. The roughly 9,000 sq. ft. fitness center will provide ample space and updated equipment including: free weights and selectorized weight training equipment and an upper-level mezzanine with a large variety of aerobic equipment. Membership types will include: family, single, senior and college student. Early morning, after school and early evening hours will be available for community use for a minimal membership fee.
