Weight Training and Cardiovascular Fitness

Need a fully-stocked weight room? You've got it. The Carle Weight Room and Fitness Center, built in 1989 to honor legendary CC football coach Jerry Carle, is housed in the the El Pomar Center and open to students, faculty, and staff.

Want a center devoted to cardiovascular fitness? We've got that, too. The Tiger Pit, located in the Worner Campus Center, is filled with plenty of treadmills, elliptical machines, stationary bikes, free weights, and mats to keep your heart rate pumping.

Enjoy swimming, diving, and water-polo? Great! For both competition and recreation, the Schlessman Natatorium features an eight lane competitive pool and multiple diving boards of various heights. 

How about ice hockey? Competitive hockey, recreational hockey, and figure skating are all available at Honnen Ice Arena. Thanks to this on-campus rink, the CC community has a number of programs at their disposal, from skate lessons to hockey pick-up games to league competitions.
