Wellness Center

You must be at least 16 years of age to join and use the facility. See memberships for information about joining. 

A valid PRCC student ID or a Humana insurance card (if applicable) must be presented upon entering. We offer a simple computer log-in system that will identify members upon swiping an ID. If you have lost your PRCC student ID, you must visit the PRCC Business Office for a replacement. 

We encourage our members to attend a training session upon joining the Wellness Center. During this course, you will be introduced to the exercise equipment including how to select appropriate weight, how to adjust seats, and how to lift properly. You’ll have an opportunity to ask questions about specific exercises and will also receive an exercise program. Please schedule your Show Me How session at the front desk.
