CYBEX - Student Recreation

On Campus Fitness: A Recruiting Tool

There is no longer a debate about the importance of exercise to good health. Data abounds to demonstrate that regular exercisers decrease their risk of heart disease, adult on-set diabetes, osteoporosis, hypertension … and the list goes on.

There is also no debate about whether or not a first class fitness center improves student recruitment and retention. It does. According to NIRSA (National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association) recreational activities ranked fifth out of a possible 21 in a student’s decision on which college to attend. And … the really good news for colleges and universities is that equipping a fitness center is a discrete expenditure … one that is an attractive donation opportunity for alumni.

In addition to finding space and funding the build-out, an educational institution has another challenge. The wide range of constituencies that make up an academic campus community have different exercise goals: the student who comes to campus expecting to exercise to keep fit; the student-athlete who is training for sports; and, of course, the faculty.

CYBEX has set up hundreds of on-campus fitness facilities - from small 250 square foot in-dorm workout room, to 200,000 square foot mega-centers that are on a par with any major health club anywhere.
