For Your Health: New Fitness Center

College students at SUNY Potsdam don’t have to go very far from their dormitory rooms to work out thanks to a new fitness center in Lehman Hall.

A former lounge has been turned into a new fitness center, helping to encourage students to adopt healthy lifestyles.

A dozen pieces of exercise and cardiovascular equipment, including computer-based stationary bikes, treadmills and elliptical trainers fill the room.

The center is in addition to the main exercise facility at Maxcy Hall and is being well utilized by students.

“I think our students are starting to understand they need to take care of themselves now in order to take care of themselves and their families in the future,” said Tanya Hewitt, fitness centers director.

College officials say while the Lehman Fitness Center is only open to resident students, the Maxcy Hall Fitness Center is open members of the public who purchase a Sports Club Pass.
