Bickman Fitness Center


The Bickman Fitness Center is located off of the Kneller Athletic Center lobby and is set up to fulfill the needs of an active Clark community. It features multiple pieces of cardio equipment that include treadmills, elipticals, ergometers, and exercise bikes on the upper level and a variety of nautilus and free weight equipment on the lower level. The free weight equipment consists of multiple exercise machines, Olympic style benches, and a wide array of dumbbells. This fall, we’ve added 3 new Woodway treadmills, 2 Matrix functional trainers, and new dumbbells.

In an effort to improve the overall operation of the Bickman, including better managing the use during peak hours, we are implementing the following:

• Offering orientation sessions for those interested in learning how to use the equipment
• Allowing the varsity athletes to use the rowing room during certain hours to provide some relief in the fitness center
• Allowing users more time (45 minutes) on the aerobics equipment if they come during off-peak hours. During peak hours, use is limited to 25 minutes.
• Provide a suggestion box for comments
• Offer 1-2 times a semester when anyone interested can come meet and talk with our Bickman Fitness Center Supervisor, Paul Phillips - Meet the Staff
