Weight Club @ CRC

Corporate Research Center employees and visitors will love taking a break at the WEIGHT CLUB @ CRC! This modern facility provides a quiet atmosphere for working out and "getting away" from it all. Pump iron, run or cycle while you look out the expanse of windows opening up the gym to the beautiful scenery of the outdoors. Or if you prefer, while you are on the cardio equipment, enjoy plugging in to your favorite TV show or music to make your escape. A good lunchtime workout will satisfy both your needs to stay fit and to relieve that job anxiety!

Easy Access - The gym is easily accessible in the center of the business park. If you plan to drive, there is plenty of convenient free parking, or most anyone can leisurely walk from any of the CRC buildings. Blacksburg Transit also provides a shuttle to CRC with a stop close to the gym.

Free Weights, Body Master Equipment, and Cardio Machines - The WEIGHT CLUB @ CRC has a full range of exercise equipment available for its members. Whether you are just beginning an exercise program or you are an experienced athlete, you will find what you need for full body workouts or specific training regimes. A full circuit of modern Body Master weight machines offers multiple adjustments to fit you and safe controlled movements to isolate work for different muscle groups. However, if you enjoy the freedom and control of free weights, we have a wide variety of those too! If you want to work the heart out, get on one of the many cardio machines including treadmills, LifeCycles, Stair Masters and elliptical trainers. You can even plug in your heart rate monitor to many of these machines to see just how well your heart is performing.

Clean Showers and Lockers - Perhaps the hardest part of working out on your lunch break is being able to clean up and get back to work quickly. This is easy at the WEIGHT CLUB @ CRC. Our dressing rooms are clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water showers, mirrors and hair dryer hookups to get you on your way. No one will know how much you sweat and what a machine you are in cycle class! Of course you can get clean towels if you forget your own.
