Whether you’re an experienced athlete or just beginning your fitness journey, your SA has lots of options for you. Here are a few things that everyone should know about athletics!
Getting Started at the ARC
The Jack Doyle Athletics and Recreation Centre (ARC) is dedicated to helping you own your fitness and health. As a full-time member of the SA, you already have an ARC membership! Here’s how to get started at the ARC:
- Get your AC Card
- Review and complete your ARC Waiver
- Activate your AC Card at the Welcome Desk in the ARC
Please note that you must wear proper athletic clothing and indoor athletic shoes for all fitness activities at the ARC.
Fitness Orientations
New to the gym or not sure how to get started? Book an ARC Fitness Orientation to learn the basics!
During these 30-minute sessions, our Fitness and Wellness Coaches will answer all your questions to help you become more comfortable with the ARC and its equipment. You’ll learn ARC rules and etiquette, proper form for various exercises, and how to operate and adjust our exercise machines.
To book your ARC Fitness Orientation, please contact Fitness and Wellness Coach Alexandra Laneville by email at lanevia@algonquincollege.com.
Intramural Sports
Intramural sports are a great way to have fun and get in a good workout at the same time. Sign up individually or as a team and play throughout the semester – then get ready for playoffs at the end of the season!
You can register for intramural sports this semester from January 16 to January 20. Different sports are offered in the Dome and in the Rec Gym. There’s something for everyone!
