Membership is how veterans plug into everything under the VREC roof — the store, the gym, the classes, and the people. It's free.
Becoming a member is simply how we welcome veterans into the ETS family and make sure you have access to all of it — at no cost, ever.
Members shop the free supply store, train in the fitness center, join classes and groups, and become part of a community that keeps showing up for one another long after the third Saturday.
All it takes is proof of veteran status the first time you come in.
A DD‑214, VA card, or military ID is all we need to confirm eligibility.
Come to 5402 43rd Avenue S., Minneapolis, MN 55417, Mon–Fri 9AM–4PM, and say hello.
Start using the store, the gym, the classes, and the community that day.
Your support is what keeps every door at the VREC open and free to the veterans who walk through them.
