Physical activity is beneficial to mental health and well-being.

Stop by the ARC to access your gym membership. There are plenty of fitness classes, exercise equipment, intramural sports, an indoor track, climbing wall, and opportunities to feel refreshed and prioritize your health.
• On Pembroke Campus, students have access to the Fitness Zone and gymnasium.

Domestic Students
