PAC June 2026

June is here and the weather is warm! Please see the following updates and highlights for the month of June:

 

Pool Project- The Pool is open!! Please see the pool operating hours:

 

Monday to Friday- 0500-2000

Saturday and Sunday - 0800-1700

 

We thank you for your patience while we’ve worked to get the pool repairs completed.

 

Life Fitness Refresh- The equipment order has been placed, and a full refresh of the Cardio room is scheduled for late June to early July 2026. Current machines will be replaced with updated, state-of-the-art models, including ellipticals, treadmills, and stair climbers. Additionally, the Mark Center and Taylor Building will each receive a new stair climbing machine. In the interim, the PAC is coordinating with Life Fitness to ensure current machines remain operational while we await the new delivery.

 

PAC Facility Etiquette- As we approach the summer months and facility usage increases, I would like to share a friendly reminder regarding common courtesies that should be extended to your fellow patrons to ensure a positive environment for everyone.

 

Sauna and Steam rooms- The sauna and steam rooms are designed for relaxation and recovery. To allow others to enjoy the areas please refrain from the following as they are unsanitary as well as a potential safety hazard:

  • Do not dry your clothes on the sauna rocks it is a fire hazard.
  • Do not bring any cellular or any kind of electronic devices into the areas due the high humidity and heat
  • Please refrain from working out/wearing workout shoes in the rooms.
  • Do not shave in the rooms.
  • If you use a towel in the room do not wring them out in the rooms. Place the towel into the bin adjacent to the entrance and get a new one if needed.

 

Locker Rooms-

Daily-use lockers are intended for single-day use only. If a daily locker is used overnight, a notice will be posted before the lock is cut and items are removed. Additionally, please keep benches clear for member seating by utilizing the daily lockers for bags and other personal belongings.

 

Weight Area-

While many members utilize various pieces of equipment, please refrain from placing phones, CACs, or clothing on machines to imply they are reserved. If equipment is vacant for any amount of time, it is available for use by another member. Furthermore, if you need to check your mobile device, please step away from the machine to allow others to cycle through their sets.

 

Help Us Keep Our Towel Service!  We are currently facing a major towel shortage due to many going missing. Because of budget limitations, we may have to stop offering towel service if this continues. You can help us keep this amenity by returning your towels to the bins around the facility after your workout. Please keep towels in the PAC!

 

It is an excellent time to be at the PAC, and we ask that you remain considerate of your fellow members to ensure a positive experience for everyone. We look forward to seeing you soon!
