- [00:00:00.390](upbeat music)
- [00:00:07.240]Hi, my name is Logan.
- [00:00:08.100]I'm gonna be showing you guys around
- [00:00:09.350]the Nebraska City Campus Rec Center.
- [00:00:11.280]Follow me inside.
- [00:00:14.940]Right here at the front desk,
- [00:00:16.280]this is where you'll scan in whenever you come.
- [00:00:17.850]At the main part of the front desk
- [00:00:18.830]is where you'll purchase all your healthy snacks,
- [00:00:20.510]and your healthy meals to go, through that cooler.
- [00:00:22.310]And then, on the other side we have
- [00:00:23.350]all of our free equipment check-out.
- [00:00:24.910]Soccer balls, basketballs, volleyballs.
- [00:00:26.310]You also pay to rent out badminton racquets,
- [00:00:28.330]all that kind of stuff.
- [00:00:29.350]But, we also have towel check,
- [00:00:30.970]so if you ever need a towel, that'll be your place to go.
- [00:00:37.430]Welcome to the Coliseum, inside the Campus Rec Center.
- [00:00:39.870]What's really cool about the Coliseum is that,
- [00:00:42.350]this was actually given to us from the athletic department,
- [00:00:44.370]so this is the former home of Nebraska basketball,
- [00:00:46.420]volleyball, and wrestling.
- [00:00:47.510]We have four full size basketball courts
- [00:00:49.070]just on this side of the Rec.
- [00:00:50.100]Four more on another part.
- [00:00:51.460]Behind me, on the first floor,
- [00:00:52.980]we have two separate cardio zones,
- [00:00:55.090]and that glass room is like a fitness room.
- [00:00:57.500]So, that's where we do a lot of our cycling classes.
- [00:00:59.746]And then, up above, on the top floor,
- [00:01:01.753]is our racquetball courts and squash courts.
- [00:01:04.500]Next, we're gonna actually head over
- [00:01:05.990]to the ping pong and foosball room.
- [00:01:08.010]So, just follow me.
- [00:01:12.960]So, now we're in one of the more
- [00:01:14.190]unconventional parts of our Campus Rec.
- [00:01:16.250]This is actually a ping pong and foosball room.
- [00:01:18.180]We do take ping pong kinda seriously on our campus.
- [00:01:20.360]We do have a ping pong sports clubs.
- [00:01:22.410]They are ranked as one of the top
- [00:01:23.950]ping pong teams in the nation.
- [00:01:25.420]If you ever need a ping pong ball,
- [00:01:26.690]or a ping pong paddle, those are free up at the front desk.
- [00:01:28.970]Next, we're actually gonna head over
- [00:01:30.090]to courts one through four.
- [00:01:35.840]Right now we are on basketball courts one through four.
- [00:01:38.320]This is where my friends and I come
- [00:01:39.570]to play a little bit of badminton.
- [00:01:41.090]We're not good, but it's fun to play.
- [00:01:42.590]Above us, we do also have a indoor track.
- [00:01:45.220]It's nine laps to a mile, so if you ever wanna come run
- [00:01:47.430]whenever it's not great outside, this is the place to go.
- [00:01:49.990]Behind us we have a couple other workout machines,
- [00:01:51.980]if you don't feel like going to other areas in the Rec,
- [00:01:54.010]you can come here and it's a little bit more secluded.
- [00:01:56.000]So, next we're actually gonna head over
- [00:01:57.220]to Injury Prevention and Care Office.
- [00:02:03.120]Currently we are inside of our
- [00:02:04.090]Injury Prevention and Care Office,
- [00:02:05.560]or known as IPC to students.
- [00:02:07.430]I'm actually gonna have Zach over here,
- [00:02:09.380]who's one of our IPC student workers,
- [00:02:11.280]kind of explain all the services that they have.
- [00:02:13.370]Yeah, so with your student fees you get
- [00:02:15.010]a lot of free benefits here.
- [00:02:16.810]We do injury evaluation, we also have first aid,
- [00:02:19.690]ice bags, and heat, other basic first aid things,
- [00:02:22.600]and medical advice.
- [00:02:23.980]IPC is really great, especially if
- [00:02:25.980]you're someone like me and you're really injury prone.
- [00:02:28.081]You can come use their free services,
- [00:02:29.930]especially, I'm the kind of person
- [00:02:31.390]that sprains their ankle all the time.
- [00:02:32.570]So, definitely love using it.
- [00:02:34.350]But, thanks for that Zach.
- [00:02:35.560]Now, we're gonna actually head upstairs,
- [00:02:37.300]and go to the Massage Therapy Room.
- [00:02:44.600]So, behind me is our Massage Therapy Office.
- [00:02:46.550]When you come here you can get an actual massage
- [00:02:48.540]from like a trained professional.
- [00:02:49.690]So, it's a really cool resource to have.
- [00:02:51.400]We do have to pay for 'em,
- [00:02:52.320]but we get a cool discounted rate for students.
- [00:02:54.150]And then, actually during your birthday month
- [00:02:55.500]you get a 20% discount, so definitely utilize that.
- [00:02:58.480]Next, we are actually gonna head downstairs to the pool.
- [00:03:04.480]Currently we are inside of our 25 yard lap pool.
- [00:03:06.900]It's only four feet deep.
- [00:03:07.930]And, we also always have lifeguards.
- [00:03:09.850]It's a really safe environment.
- [00:03:11.370]Across the street we have a different pool,
- [00:03:13.190]in Mabel Lee Hall, and that's where we do
- [00:03:14.440]all of our like cool aqua fit classes.
- [00:03:16.310]In here, we do only do lap swimming and certain events.
- [00:03:18.407]One of the coolest events that we host here
- [00:03:20.160]is called Battleship.
- [00:03:21.140]We put four canoes in on each corner of the pool,
- [00:03:23.070]and you and three of your friends get in one of the canoes,
- [00:03:24.890]and we push you guys in the middle
- [00:03:25.870]with a five gallon bucket,
- [00:03:27.160]and you try to sink the other ships.
- [00:03:28.810]Next, we're actually gonna head over
- [00:03:29.910]to our gender neutral locker room.
- [00:03:33.530]So, currently we are outside of our
- [00:03:34.650]gender neutral locker room.
- [00:03:36.030]This is kind of a more inclusive space
- [00:03:37.660]that we have here at the Rec.
- [00:03:38.700]We wanted to make it so that everybody feels comfortable
- [00:03:40.760]when they come work out.
- [00:03:41.610]So, this is a place where, not only families,
- [00:03:43.960]but also anybody that doesn't feel like
- [00:03:45.490]being in one of the larger locker rooms can come use.
- [00:03:47.740]There's two full family size bathrooms.
- [00:03:49.940]Next, we are gonna head over to our Combative Arts Room.
- [00:03:55.270]So, right now we are inside the Combative Arts Room.
- [00:03:57.560]Behind me you'll see the wrestling mat.
- [00:03:59.110]This is where we host like intramural wrestling tournaments.
- [00:04:01.080]Also, this is where our Judo Club comes and practices.
- [00:04:04.020]There is a punching bag behind us.
- [00:04:05.470]You can go get boxing gloves up at the front desk,
- [00:04:07.210]it's a good way to just kind of relieve some stress.
- [00:04:08.960]Another cool aspect of this area
- [00:04:10.550]is that it's also a dance studio.
- [00:04:12.050]Next, we're gonna head literally right through the doors
- [00:04:13.910]and go to the Fitness Room.
- [00:04:16.479]This is where we do a lot of our fitness classes,
- [00:04:17.740]like cardio dance, HIT, and yoga.
- [00:04:19.500]We do have a fitness class pass.
- [00:04:20.900]You can get one for a semester, or one for a year.
- [00:04:23.200]What's really cool is that the Rec does offer
- [00:04:24.810]a free week at the beginning of the semester
- [00:04:26.210]and at the end of the semester.
- [00:04:27.430]Next, we are actually gonna head upstairs
- [00:04:29.199]and we're gonna go to
- [00:04:30.032]the Strength Training and Conditioning Room.
- [00:04:34.630]So, behind me is our Strength Training
- [00:04:35.850]and Conditioning Room.
- [00:04:36.880]This is personally my favorite place to come workout.
- [00:04:39.000]We have four main areas.
- [00:04:40.070]So, we have our cardio zone up front.
- [00:04:42.300]Behind that we have a super circuit.
- [00:04:44.180]Along all of the walls we have a bunch of free weights,
- [00:04:46.190]so dumbbells, kettlebells, all that kind of stuff.
- [00:04:48.560]And then, we have all the squat racks, bench racks,
- [00:04:50.770]and machines that you can think of
- [00:04:52.090]located throughout the entire space.
- [00:04:54.020]We do have student attendants that'll help spot,
- [00:04:56.200]help us with any machine if we don't know
- [00:04:57.690]what we're really doing.
- [00:04:58.790]So next, we are actually gonna head over
- [00:04:59.910]to our Cook Pavilion.
- [00:05:05.040]So, currently we are inside of Cook Pavilion.
- [00:05:06.610]Cook is the former home of Nebraska football practices.
- [00:05:09.470]They moved over to their new facility,
- [00:05:10.640]so us as students now have a full football field to use.
- [00:05:13.720]It's nice turf, so it's a cool place to come workout.
- [00:05:16.930]A lot of people like to run in here,
- [00:05:18.350]especially during the winters,
- [00:05:19.530]just because it's better on your shins
- [00:05:20.660]than running on a track.
- [00:05:21.720]Ultimate Club practices in here.
- [00:05:23.350]We do a lot of like regional
- [00:05:24.390]flag football tournaments in here.
- [00:05:25.890]And then, my friends and I just like to come
- [00:05:27.260]throw a football around.
- [00:05:29.730]Thank you guys for visiting me on tour today.
- [00:05:31.300]Hopefully you guys can actually come to campus
- [00:05:33.040]and get a real visit.
