We are fortunate to have an exceptional wellness facility on the SCC campus in building 5 which includes:
A Fitness Center: Open hours Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters are Monday-Thursday 6:30 am – 7:30 pm, Friday 6:30 am – 6:30 pm and Saturday 10:00 am – 12:00 pm and is available for all employees of the colleges at an annual fee of $60 (September 1-August 31). The fitness center includes a circuit workout as well as a variety of cardio and strength equipment, a warm-up area, and a stretching area. There is an instructor on duty every hour to answer questions and to help you with fitness programs. There is a dress code requiring t-shirts with sleeves, workout shorts or pants, and work out shoes to help keep the facility clean and non-intimidating.
Included in the annual fee is the Weight room:

Aerobics, Aquatic Fitness, Yoga, and Pilates classes are available to employees for a $20 fee per quarter for each class on a limited basis. Registration for these classes is through continuing education registration in building 15.
The swimming pool and indoor track are available for use by employees without an extra fee.

The indoor track located above the main gym is generally available anytime the building is open, as is the outdoor track, located on the east side of building 5.
A Matching Time program is available for full-time classified staff. This allows use of one-half hour of company time to be matched with one-half hour of your own time in order to take a class or use the Fitness center/Weight room. The matching time program is available either before work, during lunch hour (not to be used in place of your lunch break), or after work. For additional information please contact me for a flyer and registration form.
If you have any questions or would like a tour of the Fitness center and/or Weight room, please give me a call or drop me an e-mail.
Yours in good health,
