Access to gym facilities is a valuable part of a holistic college experience, and many King’s students opt into a gym membership each year. With the expansion of our housing locations and a growing student body, this is an ideal time to diversify our partnerships with gym facilities. For the 2011-2012 academic year, we are excited to offer three new membership opportunities.

New York Health and Racquet Club will offer King’s students a year-long gym membership for $450. Students will receive one complimentary training session with membership, as well as a dinner cruise for two aboard the New York Health and Racquet Club yacht. Enroll by clicking the “Join Now” tab at http://workfit.nyhrc.com. Be sure to use your @tkc.edu email to qualify for the special rate.
