Our Wellness Center staff will show you how to program the cardiovascular equipment, explain to you the proper use of the weight equipment, and help set you up on a workout program.

In our Fitness Studio upstairs, you can create your own workout in a semi-private space featuring Plyo Boxes, Bosu Balls,Yoga Blocks, Battle Ropes, TRX Bands and a bluetooth-equipped Surround Sound system. This area is first-come, first served and is unavailable during fitness classes. Check the Fitness Class schedule for times.
