Plate loaded equipment is currently in two areas: on either end of the free weight area and in the previous cardio theater.

During this time, hallways will be closed on alternating weeks to complete the work and the track will be closed for the duration of the work. Signage at the top of the stairs will help you navigate the facility around the closed hallways. Some equipment and Multipurpose Rooms A and B will be offline for a week.

During this time, a handfull of equipment pieces and areas will be offline. Importantly, the squat racks will be unavailable as the new flooring and squat racks are installed where we have traditionally had cardio, as well as new flooring in the free weight area.
