Summer Hours in the Fitness Center

Summer has arrived and with it comes new hours for the Fitness Center! Our means of access from the outside are via LSC Door #8, down the stairs and through the back door of the Fitness Center. If you already have LSC fob access, our main FC doors will be unlocked also. As always, you must have your own electronic means of access (student ID/staff fob/FC access card) every time you come to use the FC. Please be respectful of our student workers and bring your personal means of access or return once you have it. If you are brief summer visitor or you are between 14-16 years old, please check in with the worker at the front desk to get yourself signed in.

Did you know??

Did you know the Fitness Center added two new lifting platforms last summer, along with new men’s and women’s barbells? And this fall we added the full complement of weight plates and barbells, including beginner technique plates, to make four fully-outfitted lifting stations?! We have new updates coming again this summer too. Keep an eye out for new updates and come give the new equipment a try today!


We are located in the basement of the LSC, by the locker rooms.  You may call the Fitness Center at (507) 233-9113, or e-mail at fitness@mlc-wels.edu if you have any questions. If you haven’t been here before or are unfamiliar with anything, just ask the supervisor on duty and she/he will be happy to help you!
