When possible, the times & dates of closures will be posted in advance.

ACTIVE PASSES The EPCC Active Pass provides ongoing access to dropin programs throughout the facility. The Active Pass is not intended to be a one month pass & it is not recommended for less than 3 consecutive months. For your convenience, Active Passes will auto-renew each month.

Which Pass or Fee option is best for you?

In an effort to provide YOU with the BEST health & fitness options for your individual goals, we provide a wide variety of options. The following is an overview of those options, however, please do not hesitate to contact us for more detailed information.

All passes provide access to the fitness center, group exercise & water fitness classes, open gyms & the pool & spa.

Active Pass

For your convenience, Active Passes will auto-renew each month.

Simply complete the Active Pass Agreement Packet in person at EPCC & pay your first monthly fee by credit or debit card & all future monthly payments are deducted directly from that same card. Immediately enjoy the benefits of an EPCC pass holder! Best option if you want the flexibility to drop-in to a wide variety of classes, as well as being able to use the pool, spa & fitness center at your convenience. Cost effective if you plan to regularly work out 3 or more times per week. Non-transferable. **Active Passes are not eligible to receive scholarships.

The Senior Active Pass now includes Senior Fitness Classes! See page 13.

Annual Pass or 3 Month Pass These passes require full payment at the time of registration. It is a good alternative if you do not want to use a credit/debit card for automatic monthly payments. The 3 month pass is a great alternative for someone who is looking for a short term option for exercising indoors. If you plan to exercise 3 or more days per week, but do not want to commit to an annual pass, this is your most cost effective option.

• Non-transferable

10 or 20-Visit Passes A great option for those interested in participating in our fitness program, but do not have a regular schedule of 2-3 times per week.

• Visit passes are valid for 2 years from date of purchase.

• Transferable between people of the same age group (Pass holder must be present at time of use) – a great way to bring a friend & work out together.

Daily Drop-In For the customer who doesn’t want to commit to ongoing use or is just looking to work out with a friend who has a pass.

The drop-in fee allows you one-time access to the fitness program for one date only.

We accept Visa, MasterCard & American Express debit or credit card.

LAP SWIM ETIQUETTE: “Circle Swimming” is necessity when more than two people are in a lane. Lane lines divide lap lanes, Think of the lane as a highway, always stay on the right hand side. Like a highway lap lanes may become crowded, at these times “circle swimming’ is a necessity. Lap lanes are designated according to a swimmers’ speed; slow, medium & fast. Look at the yellow markers and the end of the pool to find your appropriate lane.

LAP SWIM (Lap Pool): We will make every attempt to have 1-2 lap lanes available, at all times, for adult lap swimmers. Up to 4 lanes will be available at designated times, call 503-823-3450 for complete schedule of lap lanes available during operating hours.

Water Fitness Water Workouts: Exercising in the water cushions the impact, reducing stress on the joints while supporting the muscles & promoting more efficient toning.

INCLUSION SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/special needs, so that they may receive an equal opportunity to fully participate in programs offered citywide.

How it Works First choose the activity you’d like to do & the PP&R site at which you’d like to do it. Next, register for the class.

When registering, let the person know that you will need accommodations in order to participate in the activity. Once registered, contact Inclusion Services at (503) 823-4333. If this is your first accommodation through Inclusion Services, you will need to do a phone intake with a staff member at that number. At the end of the phone intake it will be determined whether an assistant will be needed on the first day of the activity to provide on-site support at the ageappropriate class. Future assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs.

A general program may be adapted using auxiliary aids & services, but the basic structure of the program remains the same. Accommodations are made as needed & can be flexible & creative, ensuring the participant engages as independently as possible.

If you have questions about Inclusion Services, please call 503-823-4333 or 711 (TRS). A minimum of 10 business days (Monday-Friday) advance notice is required. The Inclusion Services staff will do their best to accommodate each participant.
