FitRec offers a number facilities where members of the Belmont community can workout, take group fitness classes, play basketball, and so much more. Not only are these facilities excellent for working out and exercising, but it is also one of the best places on campus to meet other students and create new friendships. Once you are finished working out, take advantage of the tables located throughout the Beaman Center to get homework done, meet with friends or just relax before going to class!
