One of the various services Calhoun offers to students is the Wellness Center. Located in the basement of the Sparkmen Building, the Wellness Center provides students with a variety of different exercise equipment. The Wellness Center is open from 9am to 6pm on Mondays through Thursdays. The Wellness Center boasts a unique design with its brick walls and a single mirror near the back of the room. The best part of Calhoun’s Wellness Center is that, unlike other gyms, you do not have to wait to use the equipment since the Wellness Center is never crowded. Decatur also has a Wellness Center which not only has more equipment but also has showers.

How to Get Into the Wellness Center
After making your way into the basement, you should see a door like this:
The sign on the door indicates that you will need to check-in at the Welcome Center and that you will need to call 256-890-4711 to have the door unlocked. This is not entirely accurate since the door is usually unlocked and you have to sign-in inside the Wellness Center itself. After entering the Wellness Center, you will need to sign yourself into the sign-in form which is on the desk. You will need to provide your name, whether you are a student or employee, and the time you enter and exit. After signing in, you are free to use the equipment.
