Changes effective Sat., Jan. 16

Due to the MDHHS Emergency Order issued on Wednesday, Jan. 13, the SRC is able to make some adjustments to its operations.

In-person fitness classes resume on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
Racquet sports (tennis, badminton, pickleball, racquetball) and 4 player volleyball may resume provided masks are worn and social distancing is maintained.
Weight room capacity will be increased to 40 (increased from the current 30). Some machines will be brought back online as long as we are able to maintain a minimum of 6 feet of social distancing.
Competitive contact sports (soccer, futsal, basketball, etc.) are still not allowed under the current order. Activities associated with basketball and soccer are still limited to non-contact, single person activities.

How to determine if you have SRC access

Access to the SRC is part of enrollment fees the University may charge for the semester. With so many classes being moved to online this semester, as a student, you may not have been charged an enrollment fee for the semester. The best thing that you can do now is to check your tuition bill for the semester. If you see "Enrollment Fee" listed, then you will have access to the SRC. If you were not charged the enrollment fee, then you can activate your SRC membership for $90 for the semester. That process can be completed by coming to our main office Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For questions please call Cindy at (269) 387-3115.

Participant climbing on wall with Western welcomes you comments in other languages on the side and the Bronco Ledge next to that.

The Climbing Wall opens on Monday, Feb. 1

January 25

In addition to offering an anaerobic and aerobic workout, rock climbing exercises almost every muscle group. Rock climbing two or more times a week improves your strength, muscular and cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and mental toughness. All open daily climb rates are covered by the Western Student Association (WSA). Due to COVID-19 Protocols, all participants MUST register to climb and sign off on the waiver on Experience WMU.
