Workout Machines and Racquetball Courts

Some other great features of the Student Recreation Complex are the exercise machines, locker rooms, racket ball courts, and basketball court.  The exercise machines are located on the upper level of this building and are in abundance.  They have hill climbers, bike riders, and stair climbers, as well as a few others.  These machines are used for aerobic exercises or more cardio based workouts.  These machines specialize in burning calories and pushing the heart rate very high. 

The racquetball and basketball courts were installed for the enjoyment of the students here.  These courts give the students who use them not just the chance at exercise but also the chance to have fun.  Many people love to play racquetball or basketball and those who do tend not to realize how much effort they a putting in and how many calories are being burned.  This is very helpful in becoming healthy because the enjoyment of exercise in a gym with aerobic and anaerobic workouts can be rare and easily become boring.  Thus using a sport that one enjoys participating in can help with becoming healthier.  As a result, the racquet and basketball courts are put to good use.

The locker rooms are great for this building as well.  The locker room contains a series of lockers for students to store their things as well as showers and a large bathroom.  This is also a good addition to the SRC because it becomes convenient for the users to come to the SRC at whatever time they see fit, having everything needed stored within the building.
