The center also has free weights and students can check out bands, jump ropes, back supportive belts, and much more.

Jessica Valenzuela, 19, Public Health Major enjoys the gym and said, “I feel like it’s small enough to get things done and it’s a friendly environment, simplistic in nature and there is always someone there to help you out, I never feel uncomfortable here.”
