Recreational Sports for Faculty and Staff: A.H. Ismail Center for Health, Exercise, and Nutrition

Located in Lambert building near Mackey Arena, the Ismail Center provides health and fitness services to Purdue faculty, staff, retirees, and the community. The center provides an opportunity for encouragement, motivation, and socializing where adults can achieve their weight, health, and fitness goals. Upon joining, members receive a complimentary health and fitness assessment, which is used to develop an individualized training program. Each new member then receives sessions to learn how to use the equipment properly and effectively and to familiarize themselves with their program. Some additional benefits of membership include individual audio receivers on each piece of cardiovascular equipment for TV viewing, personal training, free towel and locker service, and staff on hand to help.

The fitness room is equipped with a wide variety of cardiovascular and strength-training equipment. Members are also welcome to use the 200-meter indoor track located in the adjacent Lambert Fieldhouse. The facility is in compliance with standards published by the American College of Sports Medicine. The staff is trained in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use.

Memberships are available by the semester or on an annual basis. If you are interested in meeting your health and fitness goals in a comfortable, non-threatening environment, call 496-6448 or visit the Web site at www.cla.purdue.edu/Ismail.
