We do not currently have a fitness center at the  Wildwood campus. However, you may obtain a YMCA pass at a discount. The benefit of a YMCA pass includes a greater range of available hours and days to train. Wildwood employees and students are welcome to use the fitness centers on the other campuses. 

The campus fitness centers are only available for use by currently enrolled students and employees.

A pool is available on the Forest Park campus only. Available hours are dependent on lifeguard availability.

Swimmers are required to 'Check-in' in the fitness center prior to using the pool.

Personal training is not available at the STLCC fitness centers. Interested individuals may enroll in Health and Wellness activity courses (e.g., HW 115 Basic Fitness I)

Employees can use the STLCC fitness centers for Vitality points.  

The fitness centers are closed when the College is closed.
