University Fitness Center - Employees and Volunteers Membership
Every new membership starts with an orientation where a fitness staff member introduces you to the facility, services, and policies. An introduction to our equipment and services, our goal with the orientation is to get you started on the right foot and help you to establish a basic workout plan. This plan may include use of the facility and equipment, taking classes, and finding ways to be active outside of the facility-at home, at school, or at work.
