Fitness Center
YVC opened a remodeled, state-of-the-art Fitness Center in 2019 featuring contemporary branding, updated audiovisual, and an overall modern look and feel, open to serve the students of YVC in pursuit of their health and wellness goals. The center features more than 50 pieces of major, brand-new equipment.
Part of an addition to Sherar Gymnasium in 1965, the footprint of today’s Fitness Center originally housed a dance studio, weight room, two handball courts, and a multi-purpose room. In 2017, a major project to significantly remodel the Fitness Center and provide better opportunities for students to engage in regular exercise and improve self-care was initiated through a partnership between Associated Students of YVC and the athletics/physical education department. In 2018, construction consisting of the repurposing and better utilization of the existing footprint began with a chief goal of providing a more functional flow between the entirety of workout and office spaces
