Fitness & Athletics at Houghton

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

I'm the director of athletics here, and this is our state of the art facility. That gets a lot of usage with a lot of cardio equipment. Right downstairs from where we're standing now is our weight room, which has lots of free weights and racks and dumbbells and those sorts of things. As you can see behind me is are full indoor eight lane track. We have six tennis courts, also for on the inside of the track and two on the exterior. This is a facility that is just beautiful, and our students and student athletes get to take advantage of this. We've hosted all kinds of high school events in here is well and so a lot of the young people in the track and field world in particular in the whole western New York area, Rochester, Buffalo, and here in the Southern Tier have been in our facility because we're the main host for all of section five and Section six indoor track meets. This is something we're really, really proud of something we're really excited about, and it's something that any student has access to. So how this facility is accessible to all of our students, a good deal of our non athletes also use this facility for general fitness. All of the equipment here in our fitness center is available for use. We've got some online programs with some of our bikes that make it a lot of fun to use this particular equipment, and it's available to anybody at any time that the building is open. So it's not uncommon to see folks come down and put up a tennis net and play tennis. Our Frisbee club will come in here and throw Frisbee around. It's a lot of space when you go down into the main area, and so it gets quite a bit of use from both our athletes. Are non athletes as well? So those were just a few examples of how our students use this facility.
