The main floor is bustling with the sounds of members using cardiovascular equipment, a full line of weight equipment and stretch and cool down areas. Individuals who enjoy group activity can work up a sweat in one of the many group fitness classes. Plenty of unstructured activities are available to RFC members, including basketball, volleyball, table tennis and indoor soccer. RFC staff members manage programming, facility issues, memberships, special events, financial matters, and campus outreach. For a more private workout, the top level of the building contains a track and several pieces of cardiovascular equipment that overlook the basketball courts.
Members also can unwind after a challenging workout in the lower level leisure pool or spa.
The leisure pool features a lazy river, bubble bench, raindrop tree, and slide. It does not have lap swimming, a sore point among swimmers who must trek across campus to Matthaei. Slowly, though, members are discovering that the RFC's leisure pool and spa can be an intricate part of their fitness and wellness goals. The latest addition to the fitness area is the cable crossover, a machine that offers several different weight-training stations in one machine. For beginning members, a free equipment orientation is available Monday through Friday.
