Fitness Class Fees
Fort Belvoir Sports and Fitness pays a contractor Non Appropriated Funds (NAF) in order to provide aerobics classes. Charging a small fee allows the fitness centers to recover a portion of the NAF costs as well as provide a highly desirable aerobics program. Without a fee based program, we would not be able to offer the quality or quantity of aerobics classes that we currently have. Thank you for your support.
