Free Fitness Passes for Recreation Centers Will Continue in 2024 for County Residents

Free Fitness Passes for Recreation Centers Will Continue in 2024 for County Residents

Montgomery County Recreation’s RecFit passes will be free for Montgomery County residents again in 2024. The free RecFit pass provides access to fully equipped fitness rooms, open gym (drop-in) activities and game rooms at community recreation centers during regularly scheduled hours.

In 2023, the first year RecFit passes were provided for free to residents, more than 100,000 passes were issued, a significant increase from years past. In 2022, 26,065 passes were issued.

Residents who signed up for a free pass in 2023 do not need to get a new pass for 2024. The 2023 pass will remain valid.

 "I encourage all residents to plan ahead for the summer with Montgomery County Recreation’s variety of exciting camps," said Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich. "Some of the best memories, experiences, and education come from summer camp activities. Many of our camps fill up quickly and we don’t want anyone to miss out. Recreation camps prioritize affordability, inclusivity, convenience and safety. There is something available for everyone, so make sure to take advantage of what the County has to offer right in your own backyard." 

The passes allow residents to work out with equipment in the fitness rooms, enjoy table tennis in the game rooms and play drop-in pickleball, volleyball, basketball and more.

Residents can sign up for the pass in-person at any County community recreation center during regular business hours. The pass can then be used at any of the recreation 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 for $20 for one month, $80 for six months and $150 for one year. Visit the website for more information.
