Miller said the city spent $30,000 to upgrade and improve the cardio weight room. “A lot of people that are coming to the weight room are 18 and older and college students.” “The interest in the weight rooms has grown distinctly,” said Miller, who has directed the recreation center for the last 15 years. Miller said the fastest growing and most popular areas in the facility are the free-standing weight room and the cardio weight room. Miller said the center is not as busy during the summer months. “It is much smaller than BYU”s facility, but I would go again.”ĭuring the school year, Provo High School students use the recreation center for physical education classes in the daytime. “It was different than I was expecting,” Hill said. The Provo City Recreation Center, located behind Provo High School, was built in 1975 as a joint venture between Provo City and the Provo City School District.Īccording to the director, Sherman Miller, the main goal of the center is to provide everyone with the opportunity to improve his or her wellness, while having a positive, fun and safe experience. “The rec center was the next best option.” Center because I wasn”t allowed entry into the BYU weight room since I”m not taking classes this term,” said Emily Hill, a junior majoring in early childhood education. The Provo City Recreation Center is an inexpensive alternative for students who must pay to use BYU”s recreational and fitness facilities because they are not currently enrolled in classes.
