I believe that use of the Health Club is free for DVC members. There was no charge to use the facilities at BWV when we were there this past February. There is a fee for services such as massages, though. DVC members do get a discount on those, but I do not know how much.
I have had trouble with the BW - you really need to tell this people - with VWL or OKW - no problem - DVC are not charged for the DVC Health Club even if you are not staying at that DVC resort.
I know the health club at VWL (Sturdy Branches) is free to DVC members staying there. They charge a fee to WL guests. I don't know if they charge cash paying customers at VWL or not.
hi: they do stipulate that you have to be staying there on points, not cash. we had paid cash for a night we weren't able to secure through ms a couple years ago and they gave my son a bit of a hard time about it.
I never had a problem at Boardwalk or Wilderness Lodge with the health club. All I did was show my keycard that shows I am a DVC Member. It was free, but they did ask me if I was staying on points.
