đFort Worth, TX | đ Below! All of CERAâs 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 âConvairâ, 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. CERAâs 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 ârustic Texasâ 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.

Gym Etiquette Series, Week 6: Share the Space
We love a good game of Tetris⊠just not when weâre trying to stretch. đ
Setting up camp in the middle of the space with all the equipment? Bold move. Meanwhile, if youâve pushed someone in the corner, itâs time to scale it down.
Please be mindful of others and remember this is a shared space, not your living room. đ

Gym Etiquette Series, Week 5: Loud Doesnât 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 itâs not impressive (itâs just loud). What IS impressive? Controlling the weight up AND down.
Letâs keep the clanking to a minimum - your workout shouldnât scare the room.

Gym Etiquette Series, Week 4: We Donât Share Sweat Here
We love that youâre here, but your sweat, sneezes, and that mysterious puddle? Not so much.
