Employee Fitness Center Expands Hours and Welcomes Adjunct Employees

The Employee Fitness Center reopened its doors on January 24 to continue its pilot, expanding hours and welcoming all employees, including adjunct faculty and staff to work out in the facility. The pilot will continue through the spring semester.

The Center’s new hours are Monday through Friday from 6:00-8:00am and 11:00am-6:30pm. The expansion allows for the Center to be open for the early morning shift every day of the work week and also bridges the lunch and late afternoon shifts.

The Employee Fitness Center is a 3,600 square foot space located in the Field House Balcony overlooking the basketball court. It is run by the Kinesiology Department and provides a real world laboratory situation for graduate and undergraduate Kinesiology/Exercise Science students. Exercise equipment includes StarTrac treadmills and elliptical trainers, LifeFitness Exercise cycles, Schwinn AirDyne cycles, StairMaster step machines, Concept II rowers, Nautilus strength stations, and free weights and equipment.

The Employee Fitness Center is open to all UNH employees. Users are required to sign in upon entering the Center, but are not required to show a UNH ID.

The expansion of the Employee Fitness Center is being done in collaboration between the Department of Kinesiology and Healthy UNH.
