“Meet Your New Weight Spaces”
There have been a number of exciting changes to the weight spaces at The Rec. Now it’s easier than ever to find the space that’s right for you and your fitness goals. Check out this introduction to the new spaces!
Upgraded Main Weight Room:
The main weight room had a makeover! It now features upgraded strength and conditioning equipment including 19 power racks equipped with bumper plates, 3 dumbbell spaces, and TRX stations and Olympic Lifting Platforms. The new weight room is designed with efficiency in mind, and targets those who want a powerful workout. “My favorite thing about the new weight room is that traffic has reduced substantially” says junior Shannon Austin, “and I can use one power rack to complete an entire workout, which reduces my time between sets”.
New Weight Room Annex:
The new weight room annex is located in the space where studio 4 and the rowing studio used to be, on the first floor of The Rec near the Outdoor Program’s office. The new room features squat racks, bench presses, cable machines, free weights, and more. It’s the perfect place to get acquainted with a variety of machines and do a variety of lifts.
3rd Floor Rock Wall Overlook:
If you’re looking to add variety or a challenge to your workout, this is the place to go! This space features cable circuits and traditional circuit machines.
Weight Machines by the Track:
This space features everything you need for circuit training. Plus, you can utilize the track for cardio!
Level 3 Functional Zone:
The third floor is the home of the new functional training zone- with kettlebells, pylo boxes, TRX bands, and plenty of open spaces. This is a great space for things like body weight workouts, conditioning and HIIT.
New Studio 4:
Need somewhere quiet to go stretch? The newly relocated studio 4 is the perfect place- and one of The Rec’s best kept secrets! This space is equipped with ergs, mirrors, and sports flooring and is located next to the lower gym.
Lounge:
Coming to The Rec doesn’t have to be all about work! You can relax and unwind with friends by playing ping pong on one of two new tables. The lounge is located downstairs, next to the ice rink warming area.
