The FITNESS CENTER is open daily from 5:00am to 9:00pm and features 40 pieces of exercise equipment, free weights, benches, locker rooms and saunas. Insurance requirements mean residents and their guests must be at least 18 and sign a waiver of liability in the OVA office when you get your electronic entry card key.
