The first Wednesday of the month takes place in mornings, and the 3rd Wednesday of the month occurs in the evenings.

Changing Rooms & Lockers
There are gendered locker rooms with restrooms, as well as universal, individual restrooms with space to change clothes. You are welcome to use the locker room of your preference.
