This blog post will tell you about the various gym membership discounts that are right at your finger tips.<\/p>\n<p>Are you ready to get that heart rate up? Have you been sitting too long? Join a health and fitness center today!\u00a0 WCU offers membership to our very own recreation center for a payroll deduction of $15 a month. If the University recreation center does not work with your daily schedule, there are a number of options in both Jackson County and Haywood County. The good news is that most give discounts for WCU Employees. For example you can get a 20% discount to Haywood Regional Health &amp; Fitness Center just for being a WCU employee! Other health and fitness locations that give discounts include Awaken Health and Fitness and Waynesville Recreation Center.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a large family or have a group of 8 or more people, then Jackson County Recreation may be for you. We have priced out some example membership costs for individual plans for 6 months. There may be a bigger discount if you want to add the family. Please talk to the Health and Fitness Center for more information.<\/p>\n<table width=\"1049\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"320\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"196\">Type of discount<\/td>\n<td width=\"264\">Location<\/td>\n<td width=\"269\">Individual memberships<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"320\">Awaken Fitness<\/td>\n<td width=\"196\">WCU individual discount<\/td>\n<td width=\"264\">Sylva<\/td>\n<td width=\"269\">6 months for $120.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"320\">WCU Campus Recreation<\/td>\n<td width=\"196\">WCU Employee<\/td>\n<td width=\"264\">Cullowhee<\/td>\n<td width=\"269\">6 months for $90.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"320\">Waynesville Recreation Center<\/td>\n<td width=\"196\">Government discount<\/td>\n<td width=\"264\">Waynesville<\/td>\n<td width=\"269\">6 months for $189.96<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"320\">Haywood Regional Health &amp; Fitness Center<\/td>\n<td width=\"196\">WCU individual discount<\/td>\n<td width=\"264\">Waynesville<\/td>\n<td width=\"269\">6 months for $228.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"320\">Jackson County Parks and Rec<\/td>\n<td width=\"196\">WCU Corp. discount *<\/td>\n<td width=\"264\">Cullowhee and Cashiers\/Glenville<\/td>\n<td width=\"269\">6 months for $144.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"320\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"196\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"264\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"269\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"320\">*must have 8 people to receive discount<\/td>\n<td width=\"196\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"264\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"269\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that as a WCU employee, you have access to discounts in the surrounding area?
