In other Alfred State College News, Alfred State recently celebrated the opening of the Shults Fitness Studio. The space located on the first floor of Shults Hall will give students and faculty another space on campus to utilize for their fitness journeys.
Coordinator of Campus Recreation Brooke Scianna is pleased with the transformation of the space. “My office is super excited to have an additional fitness space located in Shults Hall and right across from the Student Leadership Center. It was important to create this space to give students an opportunity to exercise in a space that they feel comfortable in. This is a small space where you can learn what works best for you. It also provides a space for those that do not feel comfortable in bigger gyms.”
The space which will be available for faculty, staff, and students to use has spin bikes, free weights, yoga mats and balls, seated benches, resistance bands, and kettle bells. “It is exciting to work with Brooke and Campus Recreation to offer this fitness space within Shults Hall,” commented Erika Winans, residential services administrative assistant. “This space will provide students, faculty, and staff with an additional resource on campus for their fitness and wellbeing. The Shults Fitness Studio is the second new space opened on campus for student recreation use in the last year. Last winter, The Studio opened in the Pioneer Center.
