Bern Schwartz Fitness and Athletic Center
The Bern Schwartz Fitness and Athletic Center has become the place to be since reopening in September 2010. The 11,500 sq. ft. fitness center provides over 100 different workout options, including over 50 pieces of cardio equipment, 15 selectorized weight machines, and a multi-purpose room that houses everything from Indoor Cycling to Zumba Fitness! The building hosts two-courts in the Class of 1958 Gymnasium, an eight lane pool, a fitness center with a varsity weight training area, an athletic training room, locker rooms, a conference smart room, and the Department of Athletics & Physical Education offices. This building is home to the College's basketball, badminton, swimming and volleyball teams.
The second floor houses the fitness center with three distinct areas: one for cardio and weigh machines, a second for classes and group activities and a third focusing on free weights and functional training. The cardio section features three HD plasma televisions with integrated audio listening abilities and treadmills with individual televisions on each machine. All three areas boast large windows with natural light.
Augmenting the facility are two playing fields (field hockey, lacrosse and soccer), a practice field and seven tennis courts.
