Platinum Locker Room Construction Update
We’re excited to share progress on our Centerfit Platinum locker room renovations!
- Women’s Centerfit Platinum Locker Room: anticipated opening mid-December
- Men’s Centerfit Platinum Locker Room: anticipated opening mid-January
While we had hoped to open both at the same time, unexpected construction delays have slightly shifted our timeline.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make these important upgrades!
We’re upgrading your recovery experience with a beautifully refreshed Centerfit Platinum area, including:
* A renovated whirlpool area
* A new cold plunge and shower
* Mechanical upgrades for improved performance
* Updated finishes: new carpet, lighting, fixtures, and tiles
Access Update: During this renovation, the sauna, steam room, whirlpool, and locker rentals will be temporarily suspended. Alternative locker rooms, towel service and other amenities will be available.

Will my membership rate increase?
If there are any rate adjustments, members will be notified at least 2 months in advance.
I froze my Platinum Membership, but I’m still being charged. Why?
Platinum is an add-on to your Base membership. If you froze only the Platinum portion, your Base membership remains active and billable. Have questions? Stop by the Membership Office; we’re happy to help.
I had a locker before the renovation. Will I get the same one back?
If you completed the locker opt-in form, your original locker will be reserved for you once the Platinum locker rooms reopen.
Can I rent a locker in the general locker room?
Locker rentals are not available in the general locker rooms due to space limitations. However:
- You can purchase a lock for $5, or
- Borrow a complimentary day-use lock at the front desk
Can I leave my items in the general locker room overnight?
No. General lockers are for daily use only. Items must be removed by the end of each day.
How do I get towels?
Towel service is included with Platinum-level memberships only.
Interested in upgrading? Visit the Membership Office to explore your options.
When is coffee being offered?
We’re hosting pop-up appreciation events, including coffee and refreshments for our valued members. While these do not follow a set schedule, keep an eye out for announcements in the building or on social media!
What equipment will be in the new functional fitness space?
The upgraded space will feature:
- Two custom hub training systems with integrated storage
- A wide variety of Escape Fitness functional training tools
- Three new squat stations
- Heavy pro punching bags
- Two adjustable cable columns
