How to Enroll 

Fitness Center membership operates as a KCC course, which means you can earn college credit for working out. Your workout schedule is up to you. After an initial orientation, there are no set meeting times; you work out as often as you'd like.

Registration

To join, register and pay tuition at KCC's Department of Student Services. After you have registered, schedule your 90-minute orientation by phoning 815-802-8610 or stopping by the Fitness Center.

Personal fitness assessment and orientation

A member of the Fitness Center staff will take you through a confidential fitness assessment which includes: girth, height, weight, resting heart rate and body fat composition.

The orientation includes a tour of the Fitness Center and locker rooms along with an explanation of our 21 Life Fitness cable-assisted lifting machines.

Please allow 90 minutes for your assessment and orientation.

Grades

At registration you are asked to choose one of the following grade options:

• Pass/Fail - to pass, complete 8 hours of exercise throughout the semester
• Traditional letter grade - to receive an A, complete 10 hours 40 minutes of exercise throughout the semester

You receive a grade based on the option you choose and the amount of time you exercise.

Seniors and high schoolers

The Fitness Center provides a comfortable place for fitness at any age! Those who are over age 60 can enroll for just $30 per semester. Plus, special workout "challenges" are sometimes held especially for members of the "Top of the Hill Gang."

For high school students, Fitness Center credits can be held in escrow until you graduate, then the credits can be applied as college credits at KCC or another college.
