Before You Go: Practical Visitor Checklist

• Confirm the current building and activity hours.

• Check the 2026 membership category and joining fee.
• Ask whether a guest option or trial is available if you are not ready to join.
• Bring any required identification, membership card or registration confirmation.
• Pack appropriate fitness clothing, footwear, towel or swimwear.
• Verify childcare availability before depending on it.
• For a private event, secure confirmation and the rental agreement in advance.
