If you are ready to return to the Herbert Wellness Center and have signed the updated waiver, you’re good to go! If you have not signed the new waiver, please log in to the Wellness Center portal where you will be prompted to sign the new form.
If you are not ready to return on Nov. 16, please email us at wellnesscenter@miami.edu no later than Nov. 13. We must receive notification in writing prior to the reopening to faculty and staff or we will reinstate your payroll/monthly deduction. Please include your name and C# or Employee ID number in your email.
Payroll deduction and prepaid memberships:
- Payroll deduction and auto-billing will not resume until Dec. 1, which allows for the repayment of the two-week credit from when the facility closed on March 16.
- If a faculty or staff member has a non-employee spouse or dependent included in their membership, the payroll deduction or auto-billing will be reduced to $35 per month.
- Faculty and staff who prepaid their membership with cash, check, or credit card will have 244 days added to their expiration date. For example, adding 244 days to a membership that expired on May 31, 2020, will make the new expiration date Jan. 30, 2021.
Hours of operation: Starting Nov. 16, the facility will open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The sales office is open Monday through Friday only from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Lockers and towel service: The locker rooms remain closed, and towel service is not available. All members must bring their own towel or purchase a workout towel at the front desk for $2.
