All students and employees must complete a Registration form and sign a Waiver & Release form at the beginning of every semester in order to access the Fitness Room. When we receive your signed form, we'll provide you with a validation card that you will give to staff at the Student Center service desk. The staff person will provide you with a keycard to gain access to the Fitness Room (you may al
so leave your Metro State ID in lieu of the validation card). Your validation card or ID will be returned to you when you return the key card. What is the membership fee? There is no cost for currently enrolled students. Employees are able to utilize the facilities on a free trial basis between February 23 and March 31. Effective, April 1, the special introductory rate for employees is $50 for the 2016 calendar year (thru December 31, 2016). Payments may be made with cash, check, or money order only (payroll deduction is not available at this time). Payments are non-refundable. What are the Fitness Room hours of operation? The Fitness Room will be accessible whenever the Student Center is open, but will close 30 minutes before the Student Center closes.

There are also 20 lockers which can be rented at no charge during the time you’re utilizing the Fitness Room. When you check in at the Student Center service desk you will receive a padlock and key along with the keycard, and you will return them when you checkout. What equipment is the Fitness Room? To date, the Fitness Room is equipped with top-of-the line strength training equipment and useful fitness accessories, including: 1 Roman chair; 1 Dual-action Smith machine; 1 Hoist Trainer; 3 Freemotion machines (2 lower body, 1 upper body); 15 Dumbbell sets ranging from 2.5lbs to 70lbs; 4 Kettlebells (5lb, 10lb, 15lb, 25 lb); 5 Resistance bands; 3 Stability balls; 2 Stretching mats; 2 Foam rollers
The following cardio equipment will be arriving very soon: 3 treadmills; 2 elliptical machines; 1 elliptical-climber combo machine; 1 water rower; 1 recumbent bike; and 1 spin bike. What if I don’t know how to use the equipment? Most of the strength training machines and many of the accessories have picture tutorials for your reference. The cardio equipment will have screen prompts or a “Quick Start” feature to assist you. If you still need assistance, feel free to ask Student Life staff for a demonstration. May I bring a non-Metro guest with me when I workout? At this time, only currently enrolled Metro State students and Metro State employees are allowed in the Fitness Room. We will revisit this policy when we have had ample time to assess usage of the facilities.
