Membership Information & Fee Schedule

We reserve the right to deny membership to the Athletics & Recreation Complex at Baruch College (ARC) when we are at capacity. When this happens, however, current members will still be allowed to renew the membership they already have.

Introduction

The Baruch College Athletic & Recreation Complex offers membership packages for students, staff and faculty, Baruch College alumni, and outside members not affiliated with the college. All membership packages include access to our state-of-the-art Fitness Center, Olympic-size swimming pool, and three racquetball courts. We do not offer facility-specific memberships (eg. Pool-only).

The Baruch College Athletic & Recreation Complex (also referred to as the ARC) occupies the three basement levels within the award-winning Vertical Campus and is open year-round. When the college is closed, the ARC will be closed. The ARC also closes annually for a minimum of two weeks in August for maintenance.

 All closings will be announced on our website and around the ARC. No credit or refund will be given for any closing.

As an entity of Baruch College and the City University of New York, there are some events that may affect the availability of the ARC. We reserve the right to cancel any reservations (i.e. racquetball) with or without notice, or close the ARC to facilitate college-related events.

The hours of operation change according to the Academic Calendar. Our regular hours of operation are effective during the Fall and Spring semesters. Reduced hours are effective during Fall Finals, Winter Session, Spring Break, Spring Finals, and both Summer Sessions.

All facility schedules will be kept updated on our website, and around the ARC.

Reviewing the ARC schedule is one of the most important things to do before joining the Baruch College ARC.
