Dartmouth Fitness Membership at Lewinstein Athletic Center

This is one of the Wellness Benefit options that active benefits-eligible employees may elect in FlexOnline as a new hire, or during the Open Enrollment period.  

The Dartmouth Fitness Membership at Lewinstein Athletic Center (formerly Alumni Gym) requires enrollment each year. You must log in to FlexOnline during Open Enrollment to re-elect this benefit and acknowledge the gym waiver, or select a different Wellness Benefit, otherwise you will default to the Lifestyle Spending Account as your Wellness Benefit.

About the Benefit

The Dartmouth Fitness Membership at the Lewinstein Athletic Center Wellness Benefit provides a free annual membership, valued at up to $450, for the on-campus Lewinstein Athletic Center (indoor raquet and squash courts, indoor track and gymnasium, swimming pools), as well as the Zimmerman Fitness Center (cardio/strength equipment).

Please note:

  • The membership dates for this wellness benefit are 1/1 - 12/31 (if you are hired after 7/1, the membership dates are 7/1 - 12/31 and the value of your membership is $225; value is $200 after 7/1 in 2026 due to the gym closure).
  • The Dartmouth Fitness Membership wellness benefit is available to active benefits-eligible employees only. Other community members, including spouses, may pay out of pocket for a membership. 
  • Gym lockers are not included in this benefit.  
  • If your employment at Dartmouth ends before 6/30, you may continue using your gym membership through 6/30. If your employment at Dartmouth ends between 7/1 - 12/31, you may continue using your gym membership through the end of the current calendar year. Emeriti will be able to continue using your current ID card; non-emeriti employees who are no longer Dartmouth employees should reach out to recreation.information@dartmouth.edu to obtain a new ID card for gym access. Please note: your gym membership will only remain active in these instances as long as you continue having access to campus.
