functions as a training facility for many of the varsity teams—but is the hub of athletic
and physical fitness activities on campus for all students.
Brescia students have access to Western Campus Recreation and the many programs that run to support your physical well-being. The impressive

over 200 cardio machines. As well, the facility features a beautiful eight-lane pool,
five gymnasiums, squash and racquetball courts and a multitude of fitness classes
