Biometrics – The card-less entry system

Tired of bringing your ID when you come to work out?

No problem! Mason Recreation is excited to announce Biometric (card-less) access at the Aquatic & Fitness Center. The registration procedure is simple and can take under 2 minutes at the Customer Service Desk. This cutting edge technology takes a unique measurement of your right hand and ties that measurement to your account in our software. Once you get your hand “registered”, you can enter through our express check-in station by merely typing your G-number (or Mason Recreation Account Code) and placing you hand in the Biometric reader. Enjoy the convenience not having to keep track of your student ID or membership card and take advantage of faster check-in time. Call 703-993-3934 for details.
