SCADfit Atlanta has a variety of fitness facilities offered to students, faculty and staff. It features an aerobics room, cardiovascular machines, free weights and a locker room. There are also many scheduled fitness classes offered that help focus on certain areas of the mind and body. SCAD is dedicated to getting students active outside of the classroom which may, in turn, help improve their creativity when in class.
Iman Gadalla, a second-year illustration student, stated that she “really likes the SCAD gym, although she thinks that it deserves more funding for more equipment.” She goes on to mention that the only thing she’d change if she could, would be the timing of the classes as a lot of them are “held during class times so they’re missed a lot – but their classes are usually super fun.”
Adding to this, Rosa Matos, a first-year graphic design student, also expressed her thoughts, stating that she likes that SCADfit “offers an opportunity for everyone to be active, whether you follow routines or do yoga, spin [class], barre … there’s pretty much everything for anyone.”
Lastly, a first-year advertising student Sofía Sanchez also commented that she “really enjoys the barre class. The instructor was really nice and kept the class very entertaining.”
Overall, the positive feedback about SCAD’s fitness facilities and classes is very encouraging to hear and can be used as motivation to head to SCADfit on the first floor of the main building. The classes are tailored to suit students’ needs and wants, with a meditation class focusing on the mind – great for students who may be having a stressful academic quarter.
In order to join SCADfit, students must pre-register online and complete the SCADfit waiver, either on the SCADfit app or through their MySCAD accounts under the Resources tab. Upon arrival, students are required to present their SCAD IDs to the front desk before working out or taking any classes.
