Students lifting free weights The Hutzell Fitness Center had its grand opening in the fall semester of 2007.  Located on the east side of Hutzell Athletic Center, the facility houses an impressive variety of workout equipment to help anyone reach their fitness goals.

The University of Saint Francis is especially grateful to Jim Shields and Ruth E. Jehl for their generous financial support which made the upgrade in equipment and facilities possible.

The cardio section of the facility features treadmills, elliptical trainers, bikes, and stair climbers. The facility also includes Matrix pin select equipment that allows safe lifting to build increased strength and ensures proper technique for lifters of any age or experience level.

The Matrix circuit includes a shoulder press, chest press, chest/rear delt fly and a five stack machine that offers more than 20 different exercises. Plate-loaded machines by manufacturers such as York and Hammer Strength are also available. These machines include a leg press, leg extension, and a seated hamstring curl. The fitness center also offers a wide selection of medicine and stability balls for improving.

Students using treadmills The free weight section of the facility includes 10 power racks and eight Olympic platforms. These workout stations allow suitable space and safety for patrons to perform a wide variety of exercises such as squats, bench press, and power cleans.  All power racks contain 0 to 90 degree bench stations, pull-up bars, and dip stations. The free-weight section also includes two dumbbell racks with weights ranging from 5 to 125 pounds.
