Am I required to book in for classes, and how can I do that?

You are not required to book in, however we strongly advise booking for all Reformer Pilates and Cycle classes as they regularly book out. It is optional to book for classes, but doing so will reserve your place. Booked out classes will also let you join a wait list, so that if cancellations occur you can be notified and accept a place in the class.

Bookings are made online here:

Why is my gym card not working / scanning in?

You must activate your card for every visit, either at reception desk, or downstairs on level 1 scanner next to the weights room. If you don’t scan in each time, your card will not open any doors. 

If you have scanned your card, and it is still not opening the doors, please see our reception staff during staffed hours.

If you are unsure on this process please ensure you have watched the induction video, available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QKtUsTtJQvq8CSHKmNqaT_5jWu-CH7uZ/view

Parking on campus is free before 9am and after 5pm weekdays, as well as on weekends.

Outside of those hours, for those without a staff/student permit, if coming by car we suggest that you park in carpark 6, off registry road (K9 on the map below). Please note, that this is paid parking at a cost of $3.60/hour for visitors (staff and students are less) and is both wheelchair and mobility accessible.

FUSF is in the Alan Mitchell Building, which can be found at K11 on the map below: https://www.flinders.edu.au/content/dam/documents/campus/maps/campus-map.pdf
