Fitness Center orientation conducted during the first week of the semester(s). These orientations will end after the second week of instruction and will not be repeated. It is imperative that ALL users
of the center go through the one-time scheduled orientation. You will only need to do this once. The schedule is posted on this web site and in the Fitness Center.

I am a member of the community and
would like to use the Fitness Center however I do not want to enroll in the class. What should I do?
