The Employee Fitness Center is now open to all employees in a pilot program that runs through Dec. 21. During the trial period, the hours of operation will be Monday through Friday, 6 to 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.  

The 3,600-square-foot workout space, located in the field house balcony overlooking the basketball court, is run by the kinesiology department and provides a real-world laboratory situation for graduate and undergraduate kinesiology/exercise science students.  

Equipment includes treadmills and Star Trac elliptical trainers, LifeFitness exercise cycles, Schwinn AirDyne cycles, StairMaster step machines, Concept II rowers, Nautilus strength stations, and free weights and equipment. 

Users are required to sign in but are not required to show a UNH ID. There is no charge to use the workout center. The pilot program is being done in collaboration with the department of kinesiology and Healthy UNH, who will evaluate broader implementation of the program during J-Term.
