- What is happening?add
Membership for non-student Recreation & Wellbeing memberships will modestly increase. A few important notes:
- If your membership plan is paid on an annual basis and your current membership expires after October 1, 2024, you will not be assessed the new rates until you renew your membership.
- If your contract is on a monthly recurring billing or payroll deduction, you will be assessed the new rate at your next billing date on or after October 1, 2024.
- What does this mean for Faculty and Staff members?add
Effective October 1, 2024:
Faculty and Staff members will increase to:
- Annual Membership: $840
- Monthly Membership: $70
- What does this mean for UC retiree members?add
Effective October 1, 2024:
UC retiree members will increase to:
- Annual Membership: $720
- Monthly Membership: $60
- What does this mean for UC alumni members?add
Effective October 1, 2024:
UC alumni members will increase to:
- Annual Membership: $1,080
- Monthly Membership: $90
- What does this mean for sponsored members?add

- Do I need to take any action?add
If you wish to continue your Recreation & Wellbeing membership, noting these increases, no further action is necessary on your part.
- What if I wish to cancel my monthly membership?add
In the event that you do not wish to continue your monthly membership with us, you must complete our Action Request Form no later than September 25, 2024.
- What about lockers?add
Locker rental rates will remain unchanged.
- Why aren’t student fees increasing?add
Student fees are also increasing by roughly five percent. However, those higher fees aren’t “up front” costs, but are sourced from student fees (approved by student referendums), so students will not see additional charges in their Recreation & Wellbeing billing.
- With increased fees, what benefits will I see as a result?add
Our continuing upgrades to our facility spaces and locker rooms have enhanced and increased the member experience, and these increases will help us continue to improve Recreation & Wellbeing for years to come. Recreation & Wellbeing continues to provide a high-quality experience and benefits, with multiple convenient locations and pool facilities at one great price value to the UC Berkeley community, and we are proud to have you as a member.
Specific improvements to note include:
- 128 new cardio machines at RSF and CMS
- New weight-room equipment.
