Member of the Month

Congratulations to our May Member of the Month, Dean Lutz!

A dedicated member of Central Plains RecPlex for over 20 years, Dean has been showing up—and putting in the work—long before the current facility existed. In fact, he and his wife Margaret were regulars back when the gym was located in the basement.

Now at 81 years old, Dean’s fitness philosophy is both honest and inspiring: it’s not about getting stronger—it’s about staying functional, consistent, and independent for as long as possible. He makes time for the gym three mornings a week, and having a gym buddy like Margaret helps on the days when motivation doesn’t come easy.

With a quiet atmosphere, first-rate equipment, and supportive staff, Dean says the RecPlex plays an important role in helping him make the most of this stage of life—and we couldn’t be prouder to have him as part of our community.

Here’s to longevity, dedication, and showing up for yourself—one morning at a time.

Way to go, Dean!

Every month at Central Plains RecPlex, we'll be featuring a member of the month who shows dedication to their fitness goals. 🏋️ If you have a nomination for a Member of the Month, please let us know by email, social media, or in person.
