Fitness Center Services and Amenities
Fitness Center Membership Requirements
The Western Wisconsin Health Fitness Center is unique as we are attached to the hospital. We frequently have cardiac and pulmonary rehab patients using the fitness center and pool. In order to continue to keep those patients safe, we will need all members to be fully vaccinated from Covid-19 prior to starting a membership (must be two weeks following your Johnson & Johnson vaccine or second Moderna/Pfizer dose). If you need to schedule an appointment to receive your vaccine, please call 715-684-1111.
You will need to show us proof of vaccination from COVID 19 prior to starting your membership.
New members will need to purchase an access card for $20. Existing members will be able to use their current card (cards must be reactivated before use).
**The Fitness Center is monitored via camera at all times. Any member found letting in non-members or not following fitness center guidelines will lose their membership access.
Do I need to check in when I use the Fitness Center?
YES! You will need to purchase an access card for $20 (existing members can use the card you already have). Each time you use the center you will need to scan your card at the front desk.
What are the age requirements to join the Fitness Center?
Anyone ages 12 and above will be eligible to use the fitness center if they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
What if I just had COVID and haven’t gotten the vaccine yet?
We will need you to wait until you are fully vaccinated from COVID-19 for you to start using the fitness center.
Will I still need to wear a mask while I work out?
Mask policies change depending on the number of COVID-19 cases in St. Croix County. Please see signage in the Fitness Center for any updates.
Will you still offer day passes for guests?
We will evaluate these requests on a case-by-case basis. Vaccination against COVID-19 will be a requirement.
Who can be a pool member?
Pool membership requirements are the same as the fitness center (see above). Members will need to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
Do I need to wear a mask in the pool?
Masks are required on the pool deck and in the locker rooms. Once swimmers are in the water and 6 feet apart, masks may be removed and set on the pool deck.

Cardio and Strength
A well rounded exercise program consists of three components: flexibility, strength and endurance. The Fitness Center at Western Wisconsin Health is equipped with new cardio and strength equipment throughout the facility to provide you with numerous options to meet the goals of all three components.
Trained exercise instructors will work with you to design and monitor a program that will be enjoyable for you to perform and help you achieve your fitness goals, whether it is to be stronger, more flexible, lose weight, off season sport conditioning or run a marathon.
Strength Training
The benefits of strength training go beyond big muscles. Strong muscles can help you lose weight, protect your joints and back from injury, boost your self esteem and keep you heart healthy. The fitness center has 15 strength training stations and a variety of free weights to help you become and stay strong.
Cardiovascular Exercises
The Fitness Center has a variety of aerobic exercise equipment consisting of treadmills, exercise bikes, elliptical walkers, nu-steps, stair steppers, rowing machines and more. This offers you a wide variety of exercise equipment to avoid boredom with any one exercise, yet help you achieve your fitness goals.
