New Fitness Equipment Added at the Rec

The Student Recreation Center recently purchased new equipment that is now available for use.

The new equipment includes the Concept II RowErg, Matrix Virtual Cycling Bike, the Torque Tank M4 and other miscellaneous items. The Concept II RowErg is a new rowing machine providing a 20” seat height for users with long legs. It provides both aerobic exercise and strength training for multiple muscle groups.

The Matrix Virtual Cycling bike has 22” touchscreen with access to fitness apps with instructor-led classes as well as multiple apps for streaming music, movies, shows and games. It also connects to smart watches and record workouts with SPD pedals.

The Torque Tank M4 is a push sled on wheels that uses magnetic resistance which means weight does not need to be changed out for each person. It is available for use in the multipurpose gym. Items added to the weight room are four custom slantboards, two hip thrust pads, a tib bar, a MoveStrong DSL Bar and a Rogue Nordic Bench. All newer equipment is located on the first floor.

Those interested in trying the new equipment can visit the rec and ask a weight room instructor for assistance or email dreamweaver@truman.edu to schedule an overview. Summer hours for the rec are 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Thursday and will continue until July 29.
