Open recreation
Who says working out can't be fun, relaxed and social? The Student Recreation Center strives to provide plenty of open recreation and programmable space for students, faculty, staff and members. Check out our many options below.
Work toward your fitness goals
I’ve been going to the SRC all four years here at Western. I can say it’s been one of the most pivotal moments of my life because it’s where I’ve met some of the most important people to me. I’ve been able to network and branch out, and I’ve been able to do things for the community and meet many different people. It’s given me the chance to broaden my horizons and meet people from all different walks of life. I’ve made real, lifelong relationships.
