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 data that suggests that students who are physically fit do better academically (ASEP – American Society of Exercise Physiologists and AAPHERD – American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance).

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.

The campus fitness facility also needs to provide for students and other facility users who have physical impairments. CYBEX Total Access is the answer. It is a line of commercial fitness equipment designed to be accessible to the physically impaired but which does not exclude other exercisers. . This means that the disabled can work out with their friends on the same gym floor using the same equipment. In the United Kingdom, Total Access meets the requirements of Stage 2 IFI (Inclusive Fitness Initiative) and in the USA Total Access equipment qualifies under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). CYBEX works with the campus office of Disabled Student Services (DSS) to assure that all campus fitness enthusiasts have access to improving their fitness level.

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.

We understand the power of the CYBEX brand and know that students accustomed to working out in top health clubs around the globe will recognize the premium quality that CYBEX represents. But the CYBEX brand is only the first step. Just as university administration is expert in running an institution of higher learning, we are experts in developing campus fitness facilities.
