Fitness
Stay in Shape
When DU students need a break from the classroom, they head for the Coors Fitness Center at the Ritchie Center.
The center offers state-of-the-art exercise equipment, a climbing wall with routes that change every quarter, racquetball courts, a squash court and a weight room. Personal trainers are available to help each student address fitness challenges.
Group and specialized fitness classes make it easy and fun to stay in shape. In the firefighter fitness class, for example, the emphasis is on strengthening and toning the upper and lower body while improving cardio capacity. At bikini boot camp, class members intensify their workout in preparation for an active summer.
Students can also take advantage of ice skating opportunities at the Joy Burns Arena, also located in the Ritchie Center. The Olympic-size pool in the El Pomar Natatorium is available for lap swimming, and students are free to practice their serves at the Stapleton Tennis Pavilion.
