Seton Hall Unveils New Fitness Center

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. In a ribbon-cutting ceremony that included several University leaders, Seton Hall University unveiled its newest athletics facility Thursday, a state-of-the-art fitness center located in the Richie Regan Recreation and Athletic Center.

President Monsignor Robert Sheeran, Executive Vice President for Administration Sister Paula Marie Buley, Director of Athletics and Recreational Services Joe Quinlan and student government president Phil Carpentier each cut the ribbon marking the official opening of the facility. 

“We thank God for this room, it is a part of a great university community,” Monsignor Sheeran said.  “Our bodies are temples for the holy spirit.  They are sacred, so the way we take care of them is in line with our relationship with the Lord.”

The center includes two rooms of the newest equipment from premium brands, Precor and Nautilus Nitro.  It boasts treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes and step climbers as well as an array of strength training equipment, including resistance machines and free weights.

“Building a fitness center is a team sport,” Sister Buley said.  Many individuals in this room today played a huge role in making this facility a reality.  This is only a part of our on-going athletics renovations and we look forward to holding more ribbon-cutting ceremonies in the future.”

 

The University Community has been invited to stop by the Fitness Center during “Open House Week,” January 9 through January 12, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., to view the new facility and have any questions answered by its staff.  Additionally, daily orientation sessions have been held to familiarize everyone with the new equipment.

“We are very proud of this facility,” Joe Quinlan said.  “We are happy to present it to the student body and the Seton Hall community at large.”
