UNM HSC Wellness

The UNM Health Sciences Wellness Center is here to provide you with a convenient location to exercise and to help you improve your health. Our gym features top-of-the-line equipment such as treadmills, ellipticals, spin bikes, free weights, recumbent bikes and more. 

Location

The Wellness Center is located on the second floor of Domenici Center West (DCW), directly above the UNM Medical-Legal Bookstore. 

Hours and Access

Currently closed due to COVID-19. All UNM Health Sciences staff, faculty, and students can normally access the Wellness Center 24/7. This includes any employee or student in UNM HSC departments, UNM Hospitals and UNM Medical Group who have been issued a badge through UNMH Security (if you have an @salud.unm.edu or @unmmg.org email address).

Access Issues

Due to differences in security systems, UNM Sandoval Regional Medical Center faculty and staff do not have access at this time. If your badge does not allow you to enter the gym, please visit the UNM Hospital Security Badging Office, located on first floor of UNM Hospital, next to Urgent Care. Their hours of operation are:

• Monday, 10:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
• Tuesday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

The UNM Health Sciences Wellness Program offers a variety of low-cost fitness classes on campus throughout the year. Whether you’re looking for high-intensity cardio sessions, an opportunity to improve your flexibility or practice mental wellness, we have a class for you. 

Social wellness is an important part of overall well-being, and the UNM Health Sciences Wellness Program offers multiple events each year that bring together staff, faculty and students to participate in fun, healthy activities. 

The UNM Health Sciences campus has places where you can squeeze in some exercise time and recharge your mobile device. Rock the Bike recharging stations are equipped with adjustable stationary bikes that have workspace and chargers for up to eight phones.

The stationary bikes are simple to use—just hop on and pedal hard enough to keep the pedometer in the green. Please remember to bring your own charging cable.

If you see that someone else is waiting to use the bike, please limit your time to 20 minutes so that everyone has a chance to use the bike.
