Campus Recreation
^{www.campusrec.uwo.ca}

Western Campus Recreation provides a variety of drop-in activities, intramural sports, instructional courses, sport clubs, and wellness services to meet the diverse fitness and recreation needs of all Western students. Facilities are open long hours year-round to provide ample opportunity for busy students to make fitness a part of their lifestyle. Registered full-time graduate students have a Campus Recreation membership. The Western ID card gives students access to all of the facilities and programs through our Membership Services area. Part-time graduate students may purchase a membership for a very low monthly rate. Graduate students also have the option of adding family members (partners and children) onto their memberships for very reasonable rates. Campus Recreation memberships include free access to:

• A wide variety of aerobic classes including: Box fit, Cycle, Step, Stretch, Top Guns & Awesome Abs (TGAA) and Total Muscle Conditioning (TMC)
• Aqua fitness classes
• Cardio room
• Drop-in gymnasia activities (basketball, indoor soccer, volleyball)
• Racquet sports (badminton, racquetball, squash, table tennis)
• Weight training room (5000 square feet)

In January 2009, Western opened a state-of-the-art campus recreation facility including:

• an eight-lane, 50-metre pool with two bulkheads
• over 200 pieces of weight and cardio fitness equipment
• expanded cardio, weight training and program space (19,000 square feet)
• five squash courts
• lounge space
• café
• meeting and training rooms

The Western Student Recreation Centre was opened in part through the largest student donation at a Canadian school in history. The $35-million space is located adjacent to Thompson Recreation and Athletic Centre, home to the Western Mustangs hockey and track and field programs.
