Georgia Southwestern's recreation and wellness facility is located in the newly renovated Florrie Chappell Gymnasium. The facility is free for students, staff, and faculty to use with a valid GSW ID. The facility is supervised by our Student Fitness Staff and certified Recreation and Wellness Staff. The gym now features a variety of state of the art equipment for cardio, strength training, and functional fitness including treadmills, ellipticals, a functional fitness turf area, free weights area, and more.
Florrie Chappell Gymnasium also focuses on health and nutrition, mental health, and other wellness initiatives. Two unique spaces separated from the fitness area by partition boards will allow students to recharge mentally and physically. The Helms Family Sports Bar and the Chill Lounge both include televisions, seating, and charging stations for students.
In addition to equipment featured, Florrie Chappell Gymnasium also offers:

Staff
The variety of cardio and weight equipment meets the needs of a diverse group of patrons, young to old, experienced to novice.
We suggest the following fitness attire while in the fitness center and attending group fitness classes:
We ask that shirts cover the chest and midriff area at all times and footwear be in the form of running, tennis, or weight lifting shoes. Boots and open toe shoes are not allowed. No cargo shorts, jeans, belts, or pants that could potentially harm the equipment should be worn.
Yes! The Fitness Supervisors at the front desk during operation hours can assist those who need help with the equipment.
An ID is required to protect the interest of those who have paid to use the facility. Students pay activity fees every semester where a percentage goes toward the facility usage. Additionally, as a safety precaution and statistical analysis, we require that IDs be presented and swiped at the front desk.
Florrie Chappell Gymnasium is currently offering daily guest passes for community members from May 23 - August 7th, 2022.
We are working to have memberships for community members this Fall.
Masks are not required though unvaccinated students are highly encouraged to wear masks in shared spaces.
To help better control the spread of illness and disease, sanitizing spray and disposable towels are available to use, so please make sure to wipe off equipment after each use.
