Fitness Center

The Volpe Center is committed to employee health and fitness with its Fitness Center. Users can either work out individually, selecting from the latest fitness equipment — stationary bikes, treadmills, stairmasters, rowing machines, a Nordic trak, and a Universal weight training center; or they can sign up for one of the many exercise classes.

The Center offers a wide variety of classes in the early morning, at lunchtime, and during the late afternoon, tailored to different levels of activity. Current offerings include muscle tone, hi/lo aerobics, and step aerobics; there is also a very popular bi-weekly Iyengar Yoga class. The Center is also open to joggers and walkers.

One of the highlights of the year is the annual "Volpe Games," combining fitness with competitive fun, and ending with a hotly contested outdoor volleyball playoff. The Center is staffed by qualified fitness and health instructors offering individual guidance on how to meet fitness goals.
