The track is a great retreat from the elements during the cold winter months as well as on wet summer days and provides a rubber running surface that is easy on the joints.
There are mats and plenty of spaces surrounding the track for working out and stretching including an abdominal workout area. The “Ab” area on the third floor includes decline benches, a flat bench, and an abdominal bench, as well as Bosu, medicine and exercise balls, toner bands, a TRX suspension trainer system, and battle ropes. There are also spin bikes on the opposite corner of the track for a low-impact, high-intensity cardiovascular workout that builds both strength and endurance.
