The Marshall University Recreation Center is set to mark its 15th anniversary with festivities beginning on Monday, Feb. 5.
\nEstablished in 2009, the 15-year-old comprehensive fitness and wellness facility has served the Marshall and Huntington communities by providing top-level training in a state-of-the-art facility on the Marshall campus. With a mission to foster a culture of health and wellness, the center offers a wide range of recreational activities, fitness programs and community engagement initiatives.<\/p>\n

Michele Muth is the director of campus recreation and says the role the Marshall Rec Center plays in the community is vital.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recreation center has become a hub for not just physical fitness but also a space for personal growth, community connection and the pursuit of a healthier lifestyle,\u201d Muth said.<\/p>\n

The Rec will celebrate the 15th anniversary with a series of events and classes throughout the week for members, guests and students, beginning on Monday, February 5 with a celebration reception at 4 p.m. The reception will include the recognition of members who were the first to join in 2009, pictures of the Rec Center through the years and refreshments.<\/p>\n

Each of the following days of the week will include special sessions like BODYPUMP, a step class, or a pickleball class. While attending the sessions, participants will have the opportunity to win giveaways, including a Stanley Cup, and on Friday the rec center will pick one lucky person who attended any session throughout the week to win a pair of Beats headphones.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely proud of the work we have done in the Marshall and Huntington communities,\u201d Muth said. \u201cWe look forward to continuing our journey of promoting a healthier and happier community through our initiatives. Thanks to everyone for being a part of this incredible 15-year journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
