The University of Texas at Dallas, in partnership with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas and the National Fitness Campaign, opened a Fitness Court Studio on May 4 on the university's Richardson campus.
The outdoor fitness center, which is located near the university’s Recreation Center at 800 W. Campbell Road, Richardson, is designed to provide easy access to a full body workout in only seven minutes. The equipment area utilizes seven exercise stations that focus on things like core, squat, push, lunge, pull, agility and bend.
The opening of the center is part of an initiative by the National Fitness Campaign to provide free access to fitness infrastructure throughout the nation.
“We are proud to be one of the first communities in Texas to join this important initiative,” said Tricia Losavio, director of university recreation. “This Fitness Court Studio is a wonderful example of partnerships to help break down barriers to accessible community programming for living a healthy lifestyle.”
