Description
Contrary to popular belief, The Jungle Gym is no longer just for kids. However, the MU Student Recreation Center’s cardiovascular fitness room is rightly named because it truly puts the fun back into working out.
Seventeen oversized flat screen monitors, a snack bar and great music make for a workout experience that is well worth the wait, but with over 100 pieces of cardio equipment in The Jungle Gym, chances are you won’t have to!
In addition to The Jungle Gym’s flat screens playing music videos, MTV shows, and various news and network television programs, many machines also give you the option of listening to a CD or even watching a DVD. With so many selections available, exercising is no longer an excuse to miss out on your favorite show.
If you are in need of some study time, The Jungle Gym’s attached quiet room offers treadmills, steppers and bikes where you can prop up that Calculus, Management or Spanish text and study away for upcoming tests. It’s multi-tasking made easy.
Other features of the new cardiovascular center include over 60 plate-loaded and strength training pieces of equipment, 2 multi-station machines, a stretching area and seating overlooking the 50 meter swimming pool. Additionally, you’ll workout with confidence knowing that the on-site strength-and-conditioning office has a team of professionals that is always happy to assist you, ensuring that your workout experience is always safe and enjoyable.
