Whether its between classes, or in the evening, the HLC is just a walk across campus for BU students to use and meet their fitness goals!

For new BU Students, a first-time gym orientation is mandatory to begin using your HLC gym membership. The guided group tour covers the basics of navigating your membership benefits as a BU Student and how to get the most out of the HLC facility.
