Exercise

“You don’t get what you wish for. You get what you work for.” – Daniel Milstein, entrepreneur

Let’s face it… We all know we need to do more, but most of us have a tough time getting started.  For Sinclair employees, the Physical Activity Center (PAC) is an excellent resource.

Facilities include:

• 25 yard, six lane swimming pool
• Gymnasium       
• Weight Room
• Aerobic, martial arts, Tai Chi, Yoga and Pilates studio
• Multipurpose field house featuring a 1/9 mile running track; tennis courts; indoor group cycling area; and a netting system for golf classes

A PAC Activity Class Pass  allows for drop-in admission to Non Credit Activity Classes such as yoga, core conditioning, flexibility fitness and aquatic exercise.  Cost for the Class Pass is $25.00. It is good for 10 admissions to Non Credit Activity Classes.

Open Hours at the pool, weight room and field house include the lunch hour and after work hours. An open hours activity pass for employees is $10 per semester.

Visit the PAC WEBSITE for complete details.

You can also register for full-semester academic credit PED 1000 series classes in Yoga, Pilates, and strength training. Classes are one credit hour (tuition free), but include a lab fee. 

Tuition Waivers

To make it as easy as possible to use the exercise facilities at Sinclair, the Staff Development and Innovation Committee (SDIC) sponsors up to two (2) fitness classes per semester – credit and non-credit—for full-time employees.  An SDIC form must be completed each semester to qualify for PED tuition and fee waivers.  The form can be found on FORMS CENTRAL under REGISTRATION.
