Recreation Center Fitness Passes will be Free in 2023

For Immediate Release: Thursday, December 1, 2022

Montgomery County Recreation fitness passes will be free for Montgomery County residents in 2023. Starting Jan. 3, 2023, the free pass will provide access to fully equipped fitness rooms, open gym (drop-in) activities and game rooms at any recreation center during regularly scheduled hours.  

“We are pleased to be offering this service free to our residents in 2023,” said Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich. “As we head into the new year and many are renewing their fitness goals, I encourage our County residents to take advantage of these great spaces. Make sure to head to a recreation center near you to check out all they have to offer. Thank you to the team at Montgomery County Recreation for helping make this happen.” 

This membership makes it easy for residents to work out close to home, near their office or at any center location that is convenient for them. Beginning Jan. 3, 2023, residents can register for the fitness pass in-person at the centers. 

Proof of residency (a valid photo ID with an address or a photo ID with a current utility bill) must be provided by County residents to receive the free pass. Non-County residents can purchase a pass at a price of $20 for one month, $80 for six months and $150 for one year. Visit the website for more information. 

The free fitness pass does not include access to aquatic centers. For aquatic center pass information and prices, visit the website.
