Cadet Fitness Center

The Cadet Fitness Center opened in May, 2012. The 50,000-square-foot center is an addition to the Cadet Gymnasium and is located on the west side of the building. The $9.5 million center was constructed due to the lack of workout space for the cadet population. The addition offers a large amount of space and includes a cybex room, climbing walls, cardio equipment, physical fitness testing room, weight room and a fencing center. The Outdoor Functional Fitness Area opened, Sept. 2016. The area is located outside the Cadet Fitness Center on the north end. The OFFA is designed to assist all 4,000 cadets in training for the Air Force Physical Fitness Test, given each semester at the Academy. The area has room for cadets to train in the different areas of the PFT to include chin-ups, sit-ups, standing long jump, push-ups and even has a 40-yard sprint training area to help cadets build strength and endurance in running for the 600 yard run. The area gives cadets 24/7 access for training and also has additional equipment like kettle bells, weights, ropes and medicine balls.
