Working out is a trip down memory lane for senior citizens in Henry County.   

The old Bassett High School is now a work out facility with space for lifting weights or doing aerobics.

Last week the owner of the building, a former student of the school, opened the gym for a senior walk twice a week.

The word is spreading fast in the small town.

"It's just basically to try to make people become more healthy. And so everything that we're doing with it and the juices the other things we're trying to provide is to try to help people have a little healthier lifestyle," said David Wright, the owner of the old Bassett High School.
