MEET THE ORGANIZATION
The Anderson Island Community Fitness Center is a nonprofit 501c3 organization dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of its isolated island community. Recognizing the significant cost and inconvenience of traveling to fitness facilities off the island by ferry, the fitness center provides accessible and affordable options for residents to stay active.
However, the current facility is housed within a small historical one-room schoolhouse lacking modern amenities, such as no on-site water access, which means no accessible plumbing facilities. Therefore, the FREE senior classes offered to all island senior residents are held at the Archival Building.
To further commit to more programs for island residents of all ages, the Anderson Island Community Fitness Center will relocate to the larger Guthrie Building in early 2026 once the Parks Department completes its renovations later this year. The new aerobics room will be available for diverse programs and activities for all islanders, from children to seniors.
To bring this vision to life, we need your help! Your donations, big or small, show your support and strengthen our ability to secure grants. Every dollar makes a difference! Let’s work together to create a fitness center that our entire community can be proud of. Your generous tax-deductible donation will be instrumental in making this vision a reality.
Group Classes
Your membership includes five weekly group classes, from Pilates and strength training to stretching and yoga. These classes can help you improve your strength and overall fitness, and regular participation can boost your energy and make you stronger.
Full Fitness Center
Our full-service fitness center is for anyone who wants to work out on top-of-the-line fitness equipment. Free weights, ellipticals, bikes, treadmills, and other workout equipment await you.
Our Approach
Our approach, as a small community fitness center, is to offer all the modern equipment you’d expect and more for the do-it-yourselfers along with the group fitness classes we offer. This allows you to effectively pursue your fitness goals, leading to improved health, stamina, and a stronger body.
Core Focus
Our community fitness center is dedicated to promoting fitness and healthy habits for everyone on the island, enhancing overall quality of life. Beyond our free senior classes, we’re also committed to offering programs for the children of our community once we relocate into the Guthrie Building

We are located at The Old Schoolhouse at Wide Awake Hollow 10804 Eckenstam Johnson Road, Anderson Island, WA 98303
