The Rice Center Fitness Room is also located upstairs
and is a distinct and separate facility from the weight room. Those users
concentrating on a non-weight workout enjoy a quieter atmosphere and are not
disturbed by noisy weight plates or intimidated by heavy-weight machines.
TV viewing and radio music are available. A variety of machines offer numerous
ways to improve cardiovascular fitness:
 |
Freeclimber 4400-PT Stairmaster
True 750-E Elliptical Running Machines
True Recumbent Bike
Stairmaster Clubtrack 510 Treadmill

Schwinn Windsprint Seated Bicycles

The weight and fitness rooms are always monitored by an attendant.
Hours may vary. Please check the posted hours in the rooms themselves as
the times for use can change frequently. All patrons should be prepared
to identify themselves to the attendants as eligible users and should adhere
to the posted rules/regulations at all times.
Attendants are responsible for the organization/cleanliness
of the rooms, identification of eligible users, management of fitness equipment
use and reporting any injuries/emergencies. Attendants are not personal trainers
and are not employed to assist patrons with a workout or program.
Athletic teams use the weight room extensively, especially during
the fall and spring semesters. The heaviest traffic time for student-athletes
tends to be weekdays around the lunch hour and between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Other users are encouraged to use the weight and fitness rooms outside of these
high-traffic periods.
The Rice Center weight room and fitness room are available for
use by Benedictine students, university employees and their families, trustees,
alumni, Rice Center members and Benedictine Religious.
