The newest Fordham Athletic facility, known as the Ram Fit Center, opened in October of 2012.
"We have limped along for far too long without ideal workout facilities," said Fr. Joseph McShane, SJ, president of Fordham University. "When the space in the Ramskeller became available we decided to move forward with this project and give the students a facility where they have plenty of space, a space that is tripled the size of the facility in the Lombardi Center."
The room, which is located in the basement of the McGinley Center, contain 3,800 square feet of cardio space (Stairmasters, elliptical machines, stationary bikes) with a stretching/cool down area and a 1,100 square foot dance/group fitness studio. The facility also houses a dedicated spin cycle room, a separate free weights room and storage cubbies.
The facility is managed by Sarah Longley Bickford, the coordinator of fitness and recreation for the McGinley Fitness Center. With over 16 years in the fitness industry and a BS in Exercise/Nutrition, she will manage the campus facility and organize group exercise classes. Bickford's fitness certifications include AFAA Weight Training; Group Fitness Instructor; Personal Trainer; TRX, Group Suspension Training; Mad Dogg Spinning; IM=X Pilates Reformer & Mat; Muscular Strength & Range of Movement, a chair based class for older adults, and ISCA Kickboxing Instructor. She is also certified in CPR/AED.
