The Student Recreation here on campus is a great assesity for students to enjoy. Even after a long day, it is often very relaxing to many students to take a jog on the treadmill, or burn some calories on the eliptical. The Recreation center is convient and a stressfree environment where students can have fun and enjoy themselves. The indoor track surrounds the four basketball courts and is a great place to take or few laps around. The recreation is open seven days a week to any BU student or faculty member. On Monday through Thursday the recreation center is open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.. On Friday it is opened from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and is opened from 10 a.m to 10 p.m. on the weekend. These are the perfect hours for students to fit some fitness in their hectic schedules.
The recreation center is divided up into seven different sections. The Fitness Room is where you will find a lot of the ladies getting their sweat on. It is about 6,000 sqaure foot and is filled with various cardio machines. In here you'll find ellipticals and treadmills, climbers, stationary bikes, arc trainers and complete cybex strength training circuit. Some people are probably thinking what do these complicated named machines even do? Well, this is the room full of cardio machines to help students and faculty members keep up their endurance!
Venturing out of the cardio room, the weight room is just around the corner. In here is where a majority of the "meatheads"get their swell on (click for a better description). This is the main spot where all of the males scatter off too. The weight room is the main place where the males go to bulk up. However, that doesn't mean that the ladies can't hold their own with the weights. There will be a few share of females in this room, but not nearly as much as the males. In the weight room you'll find master bench's, squat racks, a multi-station cable cross, and a dead-life area complete with barbells/dumbells.
Next stop is the main area, which is where the four multipurpose basketball courts are located. Often you will see students playing volleyball, rudgby or indoor tennis. These courts are always being used by the students of BU! Who wouldn't want to play a pick up game of basketball or spike some volleyball's at one another? Games are consistently being played on the courts and players may not always walk away with a win, but a good time is satisfying enough!
Who's ready to play some raquetball? The recreation center is the perfect place to go to! There are four glass backed raquetball courts that are also used for wall ball. The raquetball games seem to get extremely intense!
But if none of these entertaining activties sound appealing, maybe something a bit more intense will!
The Rock Climbing wall is a 30 foot wall where human monkeys like to swing from one rock, back to another. Rock climbing is a bit harsh on the hands and leaves work out go'ers extremely sore after a good session.
No matter if students want to shoot some hoops, burn some calories, or climb some rocks, the BU Recreation Center will be perfect for you!
