New Fitness Fees

Effective Saturday, July 1, 2023

Did you know that SRWC members can check out fitness equipment for free at the fitness desk?

It's true! Members can check out fitness equipment such as barbell pads, weight belts, ab rollers, resistance bands and more!

However, starting Saturday, July 1, the SRWC Fitness department will be implementing fees for the following scenarios:

DAMAGE FEE: Damaged due to misuse
LOST/STOLEN/NEGLIGENCE FEES: Lost, stolen, or damaged due to deliberate negligence

Fees will only be enforced when damage is determined to be beyond normal “wear and tear.” Patrons will not be charged for items that are worn down and break because of "old age."

For more information, visit the Fitness Desk.

Summer Massages

Massage Therapy will continue through the summer. Guest passes are waived for massage therapy service when using a valid campus ID. Visit asirecreation.org for more information regarding summer memberships and guest passes.

Take a hike!

To maintain a healthy lifestyle, it is important that all aspects of your mind, body and spirit are cared for and nurtured. If one area of well-being is neglected, other areas can also decline. It is important to consider this and focus on a holistic approach to living a good life.

An easy and accessible activity that can benefit your mind, body and spirit is going on walks and hikes outdoors. Whether it's a walk around your neighborhood or a nature hike with friends, taking some time to experience the outdoors while engaging in mild exercise is a great way to start and maintain a healthy lifestyle. With the weather warming up, now is a great time to find some hikes in your area. Depending on your physical interests and capabilities you can find anything from nature walks by the beach to more challenging hikes in the hills.

The Hiking Project website and AllTrails app are great resources for finding hikes in your area. You can filter out different trails depending on your interests and the general area you want to hike in. If you need hiking equipment for more challenging hikes, check out the Rock Wall and Outdoor Adventure equipment rental program. Enjoy your walks! We hope you'll walk into Beach Balance soon!
