Beginner's tennis clinics have begun! Please contact the Fitness Center at 4218 for details...

-------------------------

Location

The fitness center is located on the East side of the campus, next to the physical plant. If you are coming from the South, proceed North on U.S. 41 until you get to General Spaatz Blvd. (Landmarks: There is a Shell station on your right and the airport is on the right.) If you are coming from the North, turn left on General Spaatz, and then follow General Spaatz down to General Twining. Turn right on Twining and we're the first building on the right after the tennis courts. Click here for a campus map.

  • Per college policy, we ask that the campus community and fitness center members refrain from swimming if a lifeguard is not on duty (and please do not enter the pool enclosure after closing).
     
  • Children under 16 must be supervised by an adult in the pool.
     
  • No children under 13 are allowed in the hot tub.

Equipment Rental

The fitness center has camping, SCUBA and sports equipment available for rental with the following restrictions:

Camping Equipment can be checked out at no cost, but is only available to current USF/Sarasota and New College students/faculty/staff. During high use times such as spring break, priority is given to student reservations.

SCUBA Equipment can also be checked out at no cost, and with the same restrictions that are placed on camping equipment rental. A current SCUBA card is also required. Note: The Dive shop that normally serves the fitness center has gone out of business, and we are currently finalizing a deal with SeaStar Dive Instruction to provide both instruction and equipment maintenance. Dive classes will resume very shortly.

Sports equipment can be checked out at no cost by anyone who is eligible to use the fitness center, including guests. You will be asked to leave your ID with the on-duty staff assistant if you take equipment outside.
