What is the Wellness Center?

So I’m sure that many of you who have visited our site, have been excited to learn more about the Wellness Center. Well, I will be informing you about how we got a recreation center, what the Wellness Center has to offer and some other general information regarding who can use the center and other guidelines when using the Wellness Center’s equipment.

The Wellness Center was created to increase the awareness of healthy living to the College of St. Scholastica. The College had the Reif Gymnasium before the Wellness Center was created for school sporting events, however, they did not have a place for the students to enjoy and exercise. This is why the Wellness Center was created.

"The 63,000-square-foot Wellness Center is a field house complex featuring an indoor six-lane 200-meter running track, four multipurpose courts, a free weight room, an aerobic studio, a cardiovascular fitness mezzanine overlooking the track, a 40 foot climbing wall with a bouldering field, and new locker rooms."

As you can see the Wellness Center has a lot to offer you as student, faculty member, or other member of the St. Scholastica community.

The Wellness Center is not open to the general public; however there are some guidelines to who may use the facilities. It is open to all students, staff, faculty, Benedictine Sisters and alumni. There are membership fees for those who are not currently a student or staff member. The guidelines for the membership prices can be found at the following website, http://www.css.edu/x2863.xml. If you decide to visit someone who is a St. Scholastica member, you will only have to pay $5; pretty inexpensive for a trial at the Wellness Center.

The folks at the Wellness Center have tried to keep the facility open as long as possible in order to keep up with the demanding schedules associated with college and your careers. The following link will keep you updated with the schedule (http://www.css.edu/x15007.xml); watch for updates on the spring break schedule. Not all of the activities offered are accessible everyday, so make sure to check with our blog often to keep updated. Patricia will be explaining more about the activities offered and will inform you about what to expect at the Wellness Center. As always, hope to see you at the Center.
