Fitness and Recreation

Fitness and Recreation provides facilities, programs, and services for the University community to promote a healthy lifestyle and encourage well-being through physical activity. Full-service fitness facilities are located on each campus. Each facility has an assortment of cardio and strength training equipment as well as a locker room with a shower and changing area. Enrolled students, with a valid TWU ID, are granted membership and access to the fitness center at no additional cost because of their student fees. Faculty and staff may pay a monthly fee or sign up for payroll deduction to become a member. Members may access the facilities on any of the three campuses.

The fitness center on the Denton campus includes group exercise studios, a full-size gymnasium, a 30-foot climbing wall, a student lounge with a large-screen TV, a gaming and e-sports lounge, an indoor swimming pool, and tennis courts. Other services and programs, including intramural sports, personal training, and outdoor adventure trips, are available to students for a nominal fee.
