| - The Athletic Centre (AC) is a confusing building but a very decent place to work out. As a UofT student, the cost of membership is included in tuition. If you are not a student, you can pay to become a member.
The AC is a building that holds a 200m track in the field house, a weight room (Strength and Conditioning Centre) loaded with weights and various (new) machines, large change rooms, several gyms, squash courts, pools of various sizes, gymnastic gym, fencing room, dance studio, and even a Starbucks.
You can come in and use the facilities are your leisure, go to drop-in programs that range from yoga to zumba to cardio boxing. You can also register for courses (however this is an additional fee).
Change rooms are located in the basement. You can buy lockers which automatically gives you towel service too or you can just buy the towel service. There are also many "day lockers" you can use.
Now for some random tips
- if you are a female that doesn't feel comfortable working out in the weight room in front of guys, check out the weight room's women-only hours, they vary depending on the day of the week
- when swiping to get past the turnstiles, swipe your care with the stripe facing the left side
- there are ellipticals in the field house, make sure you sign-up for them on the sign-up page directly behind the machines
- some stall showers in the women's change room do not have hot water, only semi-warm water
- last but not least, have fun!
