Instructions
Parking
If you schedule your appointment before 7 am or after 4 pm, parking is free. However, if your appointment is between those hours, you must either:
- Park in lot A7 and use a metered parking space. The meters only take quarters and one quarter is good for 15 minutes, so plan accordingly.
- Park in the paid parking lot by the Browning Center and Kimball Arts Center
- View the parking map here!
Forms
Please download and print each form and complete them to the best of your knowledge. Then bring them with you to your appointment.
Please follow the instructions for the test(s) that you are doing. This will help ensure that they are done accurately and in a timely manner.
Instructions for all Exercise Tests
- Wear proper footwear (athletic shoes).
- Wear appropriate clothes to exercise in (usually shorts and T-shirt are best). If you are having BODPOD testing done, bring tight clothing (e.g. swimsuit, spandex shorts and sports bra).
- Prior to your fitness testing, please pay at the customer service desk in the Swenson Gym and ask for an extra copy of the receipt for lab records. You may pay with either cash or card.
