Here at NSU, we have a lot to offer. The campus is one thing, but the activities on campus are unlike any other. A fan favorite for many students is the RecPlex. The RecPlex is the gym located in the University Center. It is a two-story space filled with weights machines, aerobic machines, open rooms and more. This allows any individual to choose their desired activity and do it at ease. Although at times it can get very busy — some struggle to find the machines they want — most times, people are more than willing to share.
A unique aspect of the gym here at NSU is for those individuals who don’t really know what to do and are beginners at the gym, have access to trainers to help. Even if you aren’t a beginner, having a trainer can allow one to feel motivated. Another special part of the RecPlex is the fitness classes that are offered. The fitness classes are based on every individual. If you’re choosing to stay home, there are options to attend via Zoom. If you’re here on campus, there are classes available to you that way as well which allow you to participate in person.
NSU encourages all students to stay active whether it’s at the gym or attending a class. Not only are there fitness classes, but there are opportunities to take scuba classes and become certified. This is a great opportunity for those who have always wanted to get certified but struggle to find any available slots. On the other hand, are you used to being part of a team, but don’t want to play for the school? Join a club sports team. Here at NSU, we have a variety of club teams that are competitive, but not as big of a commitment as an actual sports team. These teams allow people to get involved and play the sport they love.
NSU allows students from all fitness backgrounds to get involved. Beginner or elite, NSU has a place for you. From fitness classes, to new opportunities, there is a place for you. Check out the link, get involved, stay active. Go Sharks! https://www.rec.nova.edu/index.html
