Penn State students make use of the many fitness opportunities available on campus. A Penn State fitness pass is a small card Penn State students might want to have -- and won't want to lose.
Fitness passes can be purchased in the White Building, located on Shortlidge Road near the HUB-Robeson Center, as early as the day students arrive.
"There are fitness opportunities at all ends of campus," Lisa Alexander (junior-geography) said.
From the Intramural (IM) Building, the White Building, Rec Hall and the Fitness Loft at McCoy Natatorium, her words ring true. The fitness pass is good at each of these locations.
Each building offers weights, machines and gym space. The White Building and Natatorium have pools, and aerobics is offered at the White Building.
Aerobics classes range from the typical step classes to kickboxing and a class called "butts and guts." The schedule of classes is available on the fitness Web site, www.psu.edu/dept/fitness/schedules.htm.
The outdoor track, located behind the Multi-Sport Facility on University Drive, is open to students for running and walking. Once it snows, students can use the indoor track.
