I want to thank you for your patience as we worked to improve the Center.

We are pleased to announce that our Men’s and Women’s locker rooms and saunas have reopened as of Monday, August 19. 

Although we are pleased to open the locker rooms, there are still a few remaining punch list items that we will be working on in the coming weeks.  One of those items is the benches in the locker room pods.  We are still awaiting those from the manufacturer.

Complementary day-use lockers are available in the men’s and women’s locker room in varying sizes.  One thing you will notice is all the lockers have a built-in resettable lock.  Please view the video to learn how to lock and unlock our new keyless lockers KEYLESS LOCKER INSTRUCTIONS VIDEO.

The small lockers are available for a monthly rental of $10/month. We will begin taking locker rental requests Monday, August 19. Please see the front desk to request your locker rental. Rental assignment will be confirmed by our office within 48 hours upon receipt of request.

Be sure to note the location of the towel receptacles found as you exit the locker room; we ask that all towels be returned to the towel bin receptacles after use.

Please review our locker room guidelines, child/youth access and sauna rules and health & safety guidelines below:
