Gym Schedule Definitions

Gym Schedule Definitions

The Gym Schedule allows us to give priority to certain groups at certain times. This does not mean that the gym is closed to all others, but members who fall within the description have priority over other members during that time.
A complete gym schedule is found on the following pages. Updated schedules are kept at the Member Services Desk.

Open: Members over 14 can participate in gym activities.
Adult: Members ages 18 and older.

Family: All persons under the age of 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult to be allowed use of the gym.
