To showcase all that the SFC has to offer, the Department of Campus Recreation invites faculty and staff to take advantage of two days of free access:

6 a.m.-11 p.m.
Tuesday-Wednesday, Feb. 12-13
Student Fitness Center

We have a large variety of cardiovascular and strength equipment, a free weight room, an one-eighth mile track, free group fitness classes (yoga is normally $15/semester for members), courts for sports play and an indoor pool.   

You can ask for a free tour, a free equipment orientation, or just work out or play!  

Please stop by the Reception Desk with your SIUE ID and government issued ID (driver’s license) on Feb. 12 and/or 13 to sign a waiver. Then you can visit the SFC as much as you like over these two days!

A faculty or staff SFC membership is only $240 per year, and we have discounted membership rates for your spouse/partner and/or dependents as well. Various payment options are available.
