Notes

The mission of Bodyworks Fitness Center is to help motivate everyone in the campus community to achieve and maintain a lifestyle of wellness-defined as a high level of physical, emotional, and intellectual health.

The goals of BodyWorks are based on the expectation of improved physical health and vitality, as well as enhancement of academic and workplace productivity that result from regular physical activity.

BodyWorks is housed on 2 levels of the Recreation Center:

  • First level - complete strength training area containing a full Cybex circuit training line as well as free weights, cable crossover unit, stability balls, medicine balls and more.
  • Third level - has 36 pieces of cardiovascular equipment including 13 treadmills, 10 elliptical trainers, 5 upright bikes, 2 recumbent bikes, 2 rowing machines and 2 steppers.

Student fees pay for the students' fitness center membership.

The program, which is based in BodyWorks Fitness Center, recently received a grant from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center to purchase a SciFit total body conditioner. The equipment allows students with disabilities, especially those in wheelchairs, to get a complete cardiovascular workout.
