During the winter, we will have available on the Fitzpatrick stage, three exercise machines for all to use. We currently have one rowing ergometer, and two nordic trak pieces. They are facing towards the window so you can look at calculations posted for correct workout intensity. The Upper School will be allowed to use them during recess time as long as they check in with the adult in the gym. They may use music with ear buds.
