Fitness & Weight Rooms

The Pepsi Fitness Center – encompassing both the Fitness Room and Weight Room – is the new and state-of-the-art fitness facility for Hopkins students and community members. Featuring panoramic windows, new equipment, and regular staffing, the two rooms have already found a new popularity on campus. We continually install even more equipment!  Both rooms offer borrowed towel services. 

The FITNESS ROOM is 3000 square feet, and features:

  • 7 LifeFitness treadmills
  • 5 Precor and 6 LifeFitness elliptical cross-trainers
  • 4 Stairmaster stairsteppers
  • 1 Stairmaster StepMill
  • 3 LifeFitness and 2 Stairmaster upright bikes
  • 4 LifeFitness and 3 Stairmaster recumbant bikes
  • 4rowing ergometers.

Most equipment is rigged to CardioTheater – a gadget on each machine that you plug your headphones into and choose which of our four cable TV’s to listen to during your workout. A complete circuit of strength training equipment by LifeFitness is also available in the room.

The WEIGHT ROOM is 2500 square feet and loaded with all kinds of equipment:

  • Hammer Strength plate-loaded machines
  • Paramount selectorized machines
  • Various benches
  • Free weights by Hampton
  • 2 Smith Machines by LifeFitness.

Did you know...?

  • The least congested times to use the two rooms are between 9-11:30am and 1:30 – 4pm on weekdays. The busiest is always after 5pm!
  • The Rec Center loses hundreds of towels every year. Do you really need the souvenir?! Out of respect to other users and your membership fees, please return the towels to the bins when finished.  Our handtowels exist solely on a borrowed honor system as a service to our users.
  • The Rec Center is a scale-free environment!
