Why do I have to pay a membership fee to use the Fitness Center?
The Fitness Centers are non-profit facilities, run primarily from the income derived from membership fees. We are aware that many other colleges and universities provide "free" use of their facilities. However, it is important to remember that at these other colleges, students are paying for fitness center operational costs somewhere in the tuition and fees. At SUNY Oswego, this is an optional expense, especially for those who either do not want to use the fitness center or belong to an outside facility. Every effort is made to provide the highest quality of service while keeping the memberships affordable for the student body.

I have an idea for the Fitness Centers, who do I talk to?
We are always looking for new ideas and suggestions. If you have a suggestion, feel free to leave a comment at our desk staff or e-mail us at fitness@oswego.edu.  There also is a Fitness Center Advisory board that discusses these issues every month during the academic year. We are always looking for student membership for advisory board so please contact us if you are interested.
