Can't make it to class in person or need a quick refresher? These easy-to-follow training videos are for you! If you would like a hands-on class before using any of the equipment below, visit our event calendar to register for the next available class. If you feel confident enough to use the machine after watching one of the videos below, you may take a short test to certify that you can use and operate the machine. 

Please remember that as of October 1st, 2018, non-residents over 18 are required to sign up for a monthly membership to use the equipment outside of classes and events.
