Recreation & Wellness Center

Recently two new buildings were built to provide better heath and fitness services to faculty, staff, and students. These are the wellness/fitness center and a recreation/events facility.

The wellness/fitness center is adjacent to the existing pool in Gentry Center and will provide access to the pool through the men’s and women’s locker rooms during the pool’s normal hours of operation.

The facility has a work-out room, which includes equipment such as traditional weight-training machines, free weights, recumbent bicycles, and cardiovascular units such as treadmills, rowing machines, and elliptical trainers. There are also five televisions for the use of those exercising.

The other large room in the center is an aerobic/dance room, measuring more than 1,300 square feet. The flooring in this room is a padded slip-resistant hardwood flooring typical of dance classrooms with mirrors and dance bars. There is also a diagnostics training room, which will contain a hydrotherapy unit, massage tables,  whirlpools, treatment tables, and other medical recovery stations for injured athletes.

The wellness/fitness center will be open seven days a week and accessible for use by all TSU students, faculty and staff. A valid TSU ID is required for entry.
