Obtain and return our medical history questionnaire. Click here to obtain a copy or come by to see us and take a tour! Present a University of Central Florida valid picture I.D. to the staff to verify your employment status. If no physician's clearance is required, you may start working out. We recommend that fitness assessment and orientation appointments be made as soon as possible to take care of this FREE service.

Wear comfortable clothing with no snaps, buckles or other materials that might damage upholstery. Shirts and athletic shoes must be worn at all times within the facility.
