Cooper Fitness Center is located below the Cooper Dining Hall, between Funnelle and Hart Residence Halls.

It is very convenient for the majority of campus and great for working out between classes, because it’s location is so central.

Unfortunately, the equipment is not as new as Glimmerglass Fitness Center, but it is in the process of being renovated.
 
The fitness center has a cardio room with several treadmills, Ellipticals, bikes and other cardio machines. The group exercise floor is equipped with body bars, dumbbells, stability balls and bikes for cycling class. Cycling is available only at Cooper.

The weight room is offers weight benches, dumbbells, bar bells, and cable machines. There is also a separate room that offers Cybex equipment for legs, arms, abdominals, back, etc.
 
Cooper Fitness Center offers a variety of group exercise classes as well as personal trainers, similar to Glimmerglass Fitness Center.

Come in and check out Cooper today – the friendly staff will have you sweaty and healthy in no time at all!

Picture above: A fitness marathon last year in Cooper Fitness Center.

I am from a small town outside of Syracuse, New York. In high school, I ran Cross Country and track where I competed in the 100m hurdles, 4x1, 200m and many other events. I now attend SUNY Oswego and I am majoring in journalism and anthropology. I have recently added a minor in health science because of my passion for health and fitness. Last semester, I wrote a health and fitness blog for Her Campus Oswego. I currently work as a personal trainer on campus. I love readings, writing, skiing, running, and I am a major shop-aholic!

Kaitlin Provost graduated from SUNY Oswego, majoring in journalism with a learning agreement in photography. She grew up in five different towns all over the Northeast, eventually settling and graduating from high school in Hudson, Massachusetts. Kait now lives in the blustery town of Oswego, New York, where she can frequently be found running around like a madwoman, avoiding snow drifts taller than her head (which, incidentally, is not very tall). She has worked for her campus newspaper, The Oswegonian, as the Assistant News Editor, and is also the President of the Oswego chapter of Ed2010, a national organization which helps students break into the magazine industry. She hopes to one day work for National Geographic and travel the world.
