September 29, 2015
POCATELLO 鈥 色花堂app鈥檚 Department of Campus Recreation installed more than $85,000 worth of new exercise equipment over the summer.
鈥淲e鈥檝e had a great response to the new equipment,鈥 said Doug Milder, Campus Recreation director.
Twenty-two new Precor 鈥渟electorized鈥 strength-training stations and one Jacob鈥檚 Ladder cardio machine were installed. In addition, the free weight area has been expanded with a couple extra benches, bars and plates.

鈥淲e were happy to send our used but in good conditioned equipment to Meridian鈥檚 campus,鈥 said Milder 鈥淚t was nice to help their campus.鈥
The decision to move forward with this project was a long time in the making. The ordering process takes six to nine months of planning. Giving the students the best possible equipment was the driving force behind the project and the purchasing of the new equipment was accomplished without any new additional fees to the students.

鈥淚t鈥檚 like rearranging your house, you put the old couch in a new spot and suddenly it brings new life to the room,鈥 said Milder.
The ISU Student Recreation Center offers membership benefits to full-time students, part-time students, faculty, staff, adjunct faculty, affiliate faculty, alumni, spouses, and seniors. Full- and part-time student memberships are paid through student fees each semester.
鈥淲e have one of the nicest workout facilities in the area and students should really take advantage of what the gym has to offer,鈥 Milder said. 鈥
