How Sheridan is helping you stay active

Sheridan College’s Athletic Centre is helping students stay active. Getting to the centre is easy since it is located on the Trafalgar campus. The costs are reasonable compared to local gym prices. The weight room, gymnasium, fitness studio, and cardio room are open to all. Fitness classes and personal training sessions are also available.

Here is what you need to know about Sheridan’s Athletic Centre.

Working out is less costly at Sheridan compared to Oakville’s Glen Abbey Wellness Centre. Students may spend approximately $300 – $400 more if they join Glenn Abbey. 

The cost of Sheridan’s gym membership varies based on who you are:

The athletic centre also offers personal training. The cost is, again, cheaper than Glenn Abbey. You can choose from a single session or purchase 10 sessions at once.

Along with personal training sessions, there are fitness classes. The classes cost $40. This includes 10 classes that run throughout the semester. 

There are different classes you can attend.
