Frequently Asked Questions: the New Fitness Program Model

What does this change mean exactly? Who does it affect and how?

All members of the Weinstein Center will have access to all fitness classes offered.

  • All full-time employees/dependants/students will have access to all fitness classes without using tuition remission.
  • All community and paid members will have access to all fitness classes without paying a fee.

No registration required and no payment necessary. Feel free to try several classes and figure out what is best for you.

Can non-members of the Weinstein Center participate in fitness classes?

Those who are not members of the Weinstein Center can register for a selected group of classes offered each semester in the Think Again catalog.  Registration and payment is required. Non-members cannot participate in personal training, but may purchase massages. 

What about part-time faculty/staff?

There will be no impact on part-time staff as they have not been eligible for tuition remission. Part-time staff is encouraged to purchase memberships to the Weinstein Center at the discounted rates. Part-time staff obtaining memberships will have full access to all of the fitness classes, but would not be eligible for the discounted personal training and massage therapy rates.

What about classes with limited seats/spots?

Classes such as spinning, TRX (6 spots), Tennis (6 spots) and Body Pump (35 spots) will have Fit Passes that can be checked out at Member Services no earlier than 30 minutes before the start of the class. 

Where can I find the schedule?

The schedule for ftness classes will be posted on our website as well as outside of each fitness class room in the Weinstein Center.

What about Massage and Personal Training?

Massage therapy and personal training will have a minimal fee ($20) per session for full-time employees and their dependants. Those eligible for this minimal fee are allowed to purchase up to five massages annually. Personal training sessions are not capped.

Community members of the Weinstein Center will continue to have access to personal training and massage therapy at their current rates.

All members will have access to the free student personal training and massages offered throughout the week. 

How do set up my appointment and schedule a massage?

Registration will be on-going throughout the year. However, there will be an initial registration period beginning approximately two weeks before the start of each semester to target eligible faculty and staff and secure on-going appointments for therapists.

Registrations will be submitted and completed at the Member Services front desk. 

How do I set up my appointment for personal training?

Personal training applications are to be submitted to Member Services. Once the application and payment is received the trainer will notify the client to schedule appointments.
