Health and Wellness
Because the whole health of our students and employees is important to their success, Ivy Tech works to offer classes and events that promote wellness. Classes such as IVYT 103, FITN 100 and FITN 101 all cover health related topics while working with students to develop their own wellness plans. The Student Life Office and various student organizations strive to offer wellness events and programs each year. Such programs include Wellness Fairs, cohorts to lose weight and improve blood pressure, along with promotions to encourage walking and participation in different active events. Community Health Resource Guides are also available at the Fitness Center and the Student Life Office.
Fitness Center
The Fitness Center is located at the Student Life Center in room 107. It is available free of charge to all current students, employees, and faculty of Ivy Tech Community College Northeast. To be able to use the Fitness Center, eligible participants must first register with Security at Harshman room 1704.
The Fitness Center includes top-of-the-line cardio and strength training equipment made by Precor. Personal viewing screens are located on all cardio equipment and it is recommended that members bring personal headphones when working out. A stretch trainer and stretching mats are also available to help members warm up before starting their work-out.
