- First Floor: Fitness Center weight room, Basketball court
- Second Floor: Fitness Center cardio equipment, running/walking track
Access to the URC is available for all employees. The URC includes the Ice Arena, Climbing Wall, as well as the Fitness Center.
Memberships or Day Passes also allow access to the Sports and Recreation Center (SRC), which houses the Aquatic Center, racquetball courts, basketball gyms, and more.
Fast Fitness/Strength Training Classes are available to staff/faculty that can reduce the costs for using the URC. These EWU courses are designed to develop strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular and muscular endurance through the use of the URC.
Note: When staff/faculty sign up for Fast Fitness, it is recommended to notify Jake Rehm, Senior Lecturer for Wellness and Movement Sciences. He will create a membership for class members in Fusion, a guest management system used in the URC to track memberships and attendance.
Located in the Safeway plaza, Snap Fitness Cheney is open 24/7 and offers a student rate that extends to EWU employees. The discount is $5 off monthly rates. The discount does not apply through their website. Employees must come in during staffed hours or call to get set up.
