My experience at the Arc have been truly an amazing experience. I enjoy every moment that I am there. I find myself there longer than an hour each visit.. I feel relaxed and refreshed every time I visit. I recommend the Arc to those who are eligible.

This place is a great place for ages 55+, lot's of activities, only $30 a year. If you are lonely and needing to make new friends, this is the place for you. They have excercise room, movie theater, a coffee bar, and have meals for cheap. Me and my wife love it.

Needed my driver side rear tailgate assembly replaced. A new one would have cost over $100 plus $125 to ship it. I paid $10 for the used one I bought from them. If you need a part for your vehicle I would highly suggest you check w/them first to see if they have it.

Very nice staff. Very nice equipment and facilities. I hate having that zumba dance music blasting out both open doors of the dance room. If I wanted to hear zumba music, I would be in the room enjoying it. We are older people not teenagers. Those doors should never be propped open with weights taken from the exercise room next door, blaring into the hallways.

My mom goes here so she gave me a tour. Oh my gosh, they offer so many things to do. It's a wonderful facility. It's so great lots of people take advantage of what it had to offer.

Great place to work out or just hang out and talk. It's only $30/ person or $50/ couple. They have many different events each including pool, pickle ball, bingo, cards and movies. For a small additional charge, you can take exercise or yoga classes.
