📍Fort Worth, TX | 🔗 Below! All of CERA’s facilities have been renovated.

In 1949, the Corporate Employees Recreation Association, or CERA, was formed as an organization of recreation facilities and wholesome leisure activities for employees, retirees, and their families. At that time, the company was known as Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation, or “Convair”, was later changed to General Dynamics, then LMRA, and most recently to CERA. Since that time, CERA has gro

wn to include approximately 16 organized recreational programs at a 10-acre site known as the CERA Recreation Complex. The CERA Recreation Complex is the site of a 70,000 square foot Health, Wellness, and Fitness facility with activity and meeting rooms, basketball gyms, indoor volleyball, racquetball courts, and a well-equipped co-ed fitness facility, weightlifting room, and exercise rooms. In addition, outdoor space includes two softball fields, two sand volleyball courts, and a small picnic area next to the Trinity River. Other facilities include buildings for the Pottery Club and the Cowtown Gem, Mineral, & Glass Club. CERA’s recreation program also features the Squaw Creek Golf Course, located in Willow Park, 18 miles west of the recreation complex off I-20. A clubhouse, including Golf Shop and Banquet Room, is situated on a hill overlooking the beautiful lake and acclaimed 18-hole course. Annual memberships are limited, but non-member guests may use the course on a pay-as-you-play greens fee and cart basis. The renovation included a multi-million dollar modernization of the CERA Recreation Complex to include a new entry lobby, child-watch area, and state-of-the-art equipment as well as a new Pottery Studio and facilities for the Gem, Mineral, & Glass Club. Squaw Creek Golf Course has also seen a number of improvements. The Clubhouse was renovated into a “rustic Texas” look, paying homage to its Stage-Coach Stop history. A new practice area was constructed to include a new range, putting green, and target greens, followed by improvements to the existing greens, fairways, bunkers, and tee boxes.

🌟Member Spotlight🌟

At 60 years old, Patti stepped on a bodybuilding stage for the very first time in the figure category and absolutely CRUSHED it!

After two years of hard work with CERA trainer Abdul and nutrition coach Steve, Patti earned:
🥇1st - Masters
🥇1st - Novice B
🥇1st - Open C
🥈2nd - True Novice

What makes this even more inspiring? She wasn’t consistently working out before starting this journey. Now, people touring the gym are mistaking her for one of our trainers!

We are so proud of her and this incredible accomplishment, and we are thrilled to be part of the journey!

Sure, we have a gym. A really good one.

But we also have:
✅ high fives during the game
✅ laughs in the studio
✅ classmates who turn into friends
✅ a whole lot of “see you next week”

CERA isn’t just a place you go. It’s a place you belong.

Come see what we’re all about.

Gym Etiquette Series, Week 6: Share the Space

We love a good game of Tetris… just not when we’re trying to stretch. 😅

Setting up camp in the middle of the space with all the equipment? Bold move. Meanwhile, if you’ve pushed someone in the corner, it’s time to scale it down.

Please be mindful of others and remember this is a shared space, not your living room. 😉

Gym Etiquette Series, Week 5: Loud Doesn’t Mean Strong

We love a good lift, but when it sounds like a construction site, we have a problem.

Slamming weights might feel powerful, but it’s not impressive (it’s just loud). What IS impressive? Controlling the weight up AND down.

Let’s keep the clanking to a minimum - your workout shouldn’t scare the room.

Gym Etiquette Series, Week 4: We Don’t Share Sweat Here

We love that you’re here, but your sweat, sneezes, and that mysterious puddle? Not so much.

Do your part and wipe down equipment after you use it. And if you’re sick, take a rest day. Let’s keep it clean around here, people.
