How do I join and what does it cost?
All UGACC employees, spouses and retirees are eligible to use the fitness center. There is no charge. The first step is to attend an orientation. Orientations are held with a Wellness Coach at the fitness center by appointment.
After your orientation you will receive a magnetic strip that goes on the back of your UGACC identification card. The magnetic strips can be picked up at Human Resources once you have completed registration and orientation. This magnetic strip must be used each time you enter the facility – even if the door is open. Using the key card helps to ensure usage of the facility is documented.
Spouses and retirees must go to the Human Resources on Satula Avenue between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday to have a photo I.D. made. You need to have your UGACC I.D. with you when you pick up your magnetic strip between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. They are assigned to you by the Wellness Coordinator in conjunction with ACC Police. Strips are picked up at Human Resources.
