Facility access

Drop-in fitness schedules are available online and are posted near the front desk and the entrances to each room. We attempt to post all events and rental reservation information.

All-user locker rooms

We have two single-occupant all-user locker rooms. These are also known as all-gender or non-gendered. These locker rooms may be used by a person of any gender and are located near the entrance to the men’s and women’s locker rooms on the first floor of the gym. Lockers are available in the locker room and can be reserved at the gym’s front desk.
