The Aduddell Fitness Center recently received upgraded equipment, said Josh Hall, assistant director of student life and intramural and recreational sports.
The center is phasing out its older treadmills and adding new, more advanced treadmills.
“It’s been a process that has been three years in the making,” Hall said.
“The new treadmills are a lot easier to use and there are many more features on them.”
New treadmills aren’t the only additions, Hall said.
“We have 12 new treadmills that are the biggest industrial grade treadmills on the market, five new elliptical machines, and we are in the process of getting four new elliptical bikes,” he said. “That’s a lot of equipment.”
If any trouble is had with the new equipment, Hall is able to help.
“Feel free to let me know if you have a question on the equipment and I can give a tutorial on how to use them,” said Hall.
Caleb Holmes, film production junior, said he is more likely to go to the fitness center now.
“Now that there’s new equipment, I’m definitely more interested in checking it out,” Holmes said.
The Aduddell Fitness Center, next to the Oklahoma United Methodist Hall housing office, is open for free use to all students, faculty and staff.
Visitors of the fitness center can enter by using their OCU ID at the front door. Guests and family members must sign in at the front desk. Memberships are only allowed for family members or guests of OCU faculty, staff or students.
