History
The Wellness & Fitness Center opened in the Spring of 1992 in the Field House Building. It was initially recommended by the Wellness Committee on campus as a place for employees to exercise while at at work. Space was available in the Field House that amounted to about 900 square feet. The popularity of the program was evident, as students and members of the community signed up for the courses. Enrollment reached 200 the first semester, and over the first four years grew to 900 members. Ned for more space was evident, and a larger facility was proposed.
In January 1997, the new Wellness & Fitness Center opened in the Allied Health Building. This facility has 11,000 square feet of space an indoor track, aerobic studio, weight room and space for cardiovascular equipment and stretching. It was designed for the benefit of the KCKCC employees, the students, and the members of our community. We hope you use it as often as you can!
