Have you ever wanted to be SCUBA certified? How about getting martial arts training, or learning to rock climb? Find it all at the Cal Poly Recreation Center, the university’s state-of-the-art 20,000-square-foot facility run by Associated Students Inc. (ASI). The Recreation Center is where students, faculty, staff and other campus community members regularly get their sweat on. It’s the go-to hub for all things wellness — from ASI Intramural Sports leagues and pickup basketball games to group fitness classes like cycling, yoga and aquatics programs. The Recreation Center even offers spaces to cool down or take a nap, and community members who want to take advantage of the great outdoors can rent adventure gear through ASI Poly Escapes. At a university where minds are hard at work, the Recreation Center offers a place where bodies can exercise and recover.
