In 2016, a Grow Rushville citizen committee was launched with the stated goal of exploring the feasibility of bringing a fitness center to the city of Rushville. After a great deal of research and consultation, the committee's idea slowly transformed. Their final recommendation was for a combination fitness and community center to be called the Rushville Fitness and Community Center.

​

Through a Charter Membership drive in the summer of 2018, more than 1,000 community members pledged their support for the new fitness facility

​

Construction began in May 2019 and the facility opened the doors in November 2020.

​

The mission of the  Rushville Fitness and Community Center is to be a community-focused, non-profit organization that provides programs and services which promote healthy living for all while being a center for social interaction and wellness.
