  • What should I wear? Something comfortable.  Loose fitting clothing and comfortable, supportive footwear.  A lot of people wear “cross trainer” gym shoes. It is recommended that you wear different shoes for your workout than what you wear outside.  This will increase the durability of your shoes.

  • Should I bring my own towel and lock? In Champaign, we provide small sweat towels and locks.  If you need a large bath towel you may purchase a 20 towel punch card for only $10 at the Front Desk.  You can also rent a storage locker for one year or 6 months (subject to availability).  See Membership Services for availability of rental lockers.  Tuscola and Monticello do not provide towels or locks. You may bring your own lock to any location but, DO NOT leave your lock on a locker in the locker room over night. We do remove locks that are left on overnight.
