Optional Services
Towel Service Members may elect this convenient option for a reasonable
term fee. Simply stated we provide you with a fresh, clean towel
when you arrive at PWG. Although we dispense towels 'one-at-a-time'
you may use as many as necessary just revisit the Lobby Desk and
trade in the soiled towel for a fresh one. At just pennies a day
towel service is a very worthwhile and smart choice!
Locker Rental A limited number of lockers are available for rent during
the selected membership term. Rental prices are based on locker
size - half, full, or oversized - and selected membership term.
Rental agreements terminate when the membership term expires and
all items in the locker must be removed. Personal Items must be
removed from the locker or they will be discarded. Coin-Operated
Transient Lockers (daily use with no over night storage) are
available and located on the 3rd floor.
Guest Passes Bring a friend with you on your next visit and show off
the PWG. Members may purchase daily passes for up to two adult
guests per day at the Membership Office or Lobby Desk. The guests
accompanied throughout the visit by the sponsoring member are
entitled to exercise or work out in the facilities within the
appropriate guidelines. There is a $10 fee per guest. Sorry
guests are not permitted to take PE Classes or participate in any
other planned programs.
Physical Education Classes Fee classes in a wide variety of fitness activities and
lifetime sports are offered during the fall and spring semesters as
well as the summer term. For specific information pick up a course
schedule at the Lobby Desk or call 432-1431.
