Purdue Fitness & Recreation Center

Ever feel the pull of a place, a silent invitation to push your limits? Here at the Purdue Fitness & Recreation Center, that invitation echoes through every weight rack and treadmill. This isn’t just a gym. It’s a transformation hub, pulsating with the energy of Purdue University Northwest students, faculty, and the wider community. The Purdue Fitness & Recreation Center caters to everyone, from seasoned athletes to those just starting their fitness journey. Current students enjoy free access, a perk that makes staying active both convenient and affordable. Faculty, staff, and community members aren’t left out either. They can choose from a range of membership options to fit their needs and budgets. Imagine yourself stepping inside. The Hammond location, at 2300 173rd Street, is a hive of activity, open long hours Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. You can squeeze in a workout before class, during your lunch break, or even late at night. Fridays offer a slightly shorter schedule, closing at 6 p.m., while weekend warriors can get their fix from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Need to de-stress during winter recess? The Purdue Fitness & Recreation Center has you covered with modified hours. There’s also a second location at the Dworkin Student Services and Activities Complex in Westville. While this location operates on a different schedule, the commitment to fitness remains the same. Whether you prefer the buzz of the Hammond center or the more intimate setting of Westville, the Purdue Fitness & Recreation Center offers state-of-the-art equipment and opportunities to stay fit. From ellipticals to free weights, group classes to open gym time, this center is more than just a gym. It’s a vital part of the Purdue University Northwest experience, a place where personal goals are met and the pride of the PNW community shines through.
