Programs

All new members to the facility are entitled to two sessions with a fitness programmer or personal trainer. These sessions will provide new members the opportunity to have their basic fitness levels assessed as well as having an opportunity to have a personal orientation to the facility and the equipment.

Members as well as students who have questions concerning their health and fitness may consult with a fitness programmer to have their needs met.

For those interested in more personal attention, private training is available for purchase with one of our many qualified trainers. Discounts are available for bulk purchases.

For others who are interested in working out in a group setting, we are proud to introduce the PEC group fitness program. Classes will be offered for people of varying skill and ability, ranging from step to kick boxing to yoga. These classes are available to those who have paid reservations.

Services

The PEC offers many of the services and features found in other high priced private fitness facilities. Locker rooms are available for all members for changing, showering, and safekeeping of personal items. Personal towels are available for your use during your workout and separate cleaning towels are available for cleaning perspiration from a machine once you are finished with it. If you become hungry or thirsty during your workout, there is a fully stocked vending machine offering, juice and sports drinks, and protein/energy bars are available for purchase at the front desk. For the heavy lifters, weight belts are available at the front desk as well.

Parking is available for all members in general lots 4-6 adjacent to the student center. Please Note: One parking permit per application will be issued.

The PEC provides a monthly newsletter, which will provide information on health, fitness and diet, as well as a host of other topics. To obtain a copy of the newsletter, visit the website at www.tcnj.edu/~pec.

A separate Recreation Center membership is available for purchase, but does not include use of the PEC.
