Get Pumped for the Summer
Jarvis Broom
Have you made a New Years
resolution to get fit, but you don’t have
the time because you are a busy col
lege student? Going to the gym would
be a long stretch from getting to class
on time. Therefore, all you can do is
eat lunch and then head to class. Well,
now that can be solved. Thanks to the
exercise science department and Curt
Crowhurst, formal Associate Dean of
campus life, the underground now fea
tures a cardiovascular room for the on
to go student. The Nesbitt family, who
is also a Brevard College Trustee,
sponsored the new cardiovascular
room.
The new cardio room is lo
cated in the Underground of Coltrane
Commans where the game room was
located. Most of the equipment that is
provided comes from Precor USA.
The weight room consists of two tread
mills, a stretch trainer, which works the
upper body, a recumbent bike, and
machine will also be present with sports
drinks and water. The snack machine
will be moved to the outside of the
workout room.

a schedule with your trainer.
The hours of the workout room
are Monday through Fndays, from 6am
until 11pm. On the weekends the
workout room is open at 12pm and
closes at 11pm. There is also a con
tract with Precor USA for a monthly
maintenance on the equipment.
The main focus of the new
workout room is for the student’s op
portunity to benefit physically, mentally,
and socially. However, there is an invi
tation extended to the faculty and stafl
to take part in the practice of a healthier
life. “I hope that the students gain the
