After 12 years of planning, the University of Guelph opened its new Fitness Centre to its students in September, 2016. This 23,000 sq/ft state of the art Fitness Centre has a wide variety of equipment for all users. Cardio equipment is located on the main floor and mezzanine – predominantly Matrix with technology enabled screens to watch TV, Netflix, and track workouts, as well as a variety of other specialized pieces such as a standing ski erg, self driven treadmills, rope pulls, Jacob’s ladder, tire flip & more! Strength equipment ranges from selectorize weight stack to plate-loaded machinery. Squat racks and deadlift platforms are located towards the rear in our heavyweight section, with dumbbells, additional free weight barbells, and landmines. In addition, this space has a Connexus functional training station, open/free space, stretch machines, core mats, and small equipment available for lend at the Fitness Centre desk.
