The Mellon Institute gym is managed by a group of volunteers. Our funding is limited and it’s important that we take care of our equipment so we do not have to replace it frequently. We also want you to be safe. Please help us keep you and our equipment from breaking by adhering to the following rules. Failure to abide by them can result in loss of gym access.
