“This redesign is a reflection of Trent University’s commitment to promoting health, wellness, and athletic excellence,” said Nathan McFadden, Trent director of Athletics and Recreation. “By investing in modern equipment and creating a space that fosters strength and functional movement, the University is ensuring access to a top-tier fitness experience, as well as high-performance training for student-athletes.”

Throughout last month, key enhancements were made including adding eight flush-mount lifting platforms, expanding free-weight and selectorized equipment areas, and specialized sound-suppressant flooring. Additional upgrades include new treadmills, updated televisions and a reorganized layout.

Trent University hosted a grand reopening event that saw Trent students, staff, faculty and community members explore the enhanced facility, experience the new layout and view demonstrations by staff and Excalibur student-athletes.
