Membership Information
Eligibility
The URMC Fitness & Wellness Center is open to faculty, staff, students, alumni, and retirees of the University of Rochester, Strong Staffing, Eastman Dental Center, Strong Health and Highland Hospital.
Spouses, same-sex domestic partners and dependants age 16 and over are also eligible. Further, contractors working primarily on University grounds may also join. Unfortunately, the public-at-large is not eligible for membership at this time.
To join, go to G-5680 in Strong Memorial Hospital (in the Facilities hallway between MRI and Ultrasound) and speak to the staff. New members are required to take a brief orientation tour offered every Tuesday at 12:00pm (noon) and Thursday at 5:15pm.
Interruption of your University affiliation may disrupt your access to the Fitness & Wellness Center. Spousal, domestic partner and dependant memberships lapse automatically when the primary University- affiliated member discontinues their membership.
Rates
Most faculty and staff are eligible to have their membership dues payroll deducted over the course of the year. If you choose to payroll deduct your membership dues, you will be required to pay a small down payment to cover your membership dues while Payroll processes your deduction application. With this method of payment, your membership never expires! To discontinue your membership, you will need to fill out a payroll deduction termination form that you can get in the Pro Shop.
To terminate payroll deduction, please submit your request in person no less than 35 days in advance of your desired termination date. We will not accept payroll deduction termination requests through the mail, over the phone, or via e-mail or fax.
If you pay the full membership dues in advance, we will make a reasonable effort to notify you before your membership expires. You are responsible for ensuring that we have the proper contact information to reach you.
Spouses, same-sex domestic partners, and dependants pay the same rate as the University-affiliated member. In cases where you fall into multiple categories (eg. a student who is the spouse of a University employee), the highest rate applies.
Your University affiliation is determined by the position listed on your University of Rochester ID.
