RECREATION

HWS Recreation Department offers a variety of inclusive programs and services promoting the well-being of the HWS community. Primarily these offerings consist of open recreation activities, group fitness classes, intramural sports, and special events.

HWS Recreation's programs and services predominately take place in Bristol Field House; a multi-purpose facility made up of a fitness center and weight room, functional fitness station, indoor track, athletic courts, and group exercise and indoor cycling room.

New to the field house this year:

• Zero gravity massage chair
• Emergency pagers to call the front desk for help
• Cardio equipment – some of which will let you walk various trails around the world or through streets of cities like Paris using the touch screen.
• A few upgrades to our strength machines
