3I: Let's Get Physical

The most exercise I get on a daily basis is walking to the kitchen to get a snack, but for all of you gym junkies out there, here's some info about Southern's Fitness Center.

Want to avoid the dreaded "freshman 15"? The Fitness Center, located on the second floor of the Adante Student Center, has equipment and classes that will satisfy all of your exercise needs. For a mere $60 per semester (classes included), everything in this gym is at your disposal.

Hours:

Monday-Thursday 7am-10pm
Friday 7am-8pm
Saturday 9:30am-4:30pm
Sunday 2pm-7pm

The SCSU Fitness Center is equipped with 7 elliptical machines, 2 stair steppers, 4 bikes, 9 treadmills, plus 22 various other machines. There is also a cycling room where you can take a cycling class Monday-Thursday that has 12 bikes. There are also a number of free-weights available.

 

 

If you are the type of person who enjoys more organized exercise as opposed to creating your own work-out routine, there are many group classes offered that would be perfect for you. Some great looking classes include Total Body/Toning, Boot Camp, Yoga, Piloxing (a mixture of Pilates and boxing), cycling, Zumba, Kick Express, Lunch Crunch, and Ab Lab to name a few. Signs-ups for any class start 15 minutes before that class starts at the front desk. I personally am very interested in taking the Vinyasa Yoga class on Friday which is free to all students! The Fitness Center is a great resource for all students to stay healthy and in shape.

The room number for the center is ASC 204, their contact information is 203-392-8971 and fitness@southernct.edu if you have any questions, or you can go to southernct.edu/fitness center.
