Recreational Activities

In September 2001, a new fitness center and state-of-the-art aerobics room was built on the ground level of St. Joseph's residence hall. A workout area was added in the basement of Loretto Hall in 2003. These fitness centers feature a recumbent bike, elliptical machines, treadmills and a variety of nautilus equipment. In addition, the centers offer a free weight area with benches and dumbbells. Various classes will be offered to students, faculty, staff and alumni in these fitness centers.

Students also have access to the Simmons College William J. Holmes Sports & Fitness Center for swimming, aerobics and other fitness activities. Bring your Emmanuel identification and room key to the security office in order to get a Simmons pass.

Emmanuel College's central location means students are close to bike trails, the YMCA, numerous parks and other hot spots for recreational and leisurely activities.
