More than a fitness center, our mission is to engage Embry‑Riddle in fitness opportunities that lay the foundation for total well-being. With a variety of strength, cardio and functional training equipment, as well as fitness classes, seminars and events, there is something for everyone.

The Dr. Jamie Fletcher Fitness Center occupies 3,000 square feet inside the ICI Center, located on Clyde Morris Boulevard directly across from the main entrance to Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University.

The Fitness Center features a variety of equipment geared primarily toward strength training for the university’s intercollegiate athletes and coaches. The fitness center features a wide variety of Hammer Strength, MedX, Woodway, Stairmaster and Magnum machines, as well as a computerized rowing machine, exercise bicycles and a large selection of free weights.

The ICI Center houses Embry‑Riddle Aeronautical University’s Department of Athletics and the Department of Intramural and Recreational Sports. Located on Clyde Morris Boulevard directly across from the campus main entrance, the 50,000-square-foot facility is the centerpiece for campus recreation, athletics and University functions such as graduation ceremonies, guest speakers and concerts.

The facility is home to Embry‑Riddle’s basketball and volleyball teams, as well as intramural activities, club sports and cheerleading. The multipurpose gymnasium features three basketball courts, three volleyball courts and three badminton courts. The facility also boasts a state-of-the-art sound system, a sports medicine center and the Fletcher Fitness Center, which is equipped with strength training and cardiovascular equipment.

Surrounding the ICI Center are outdoor sports facilities, including baseball and soccer stadiums, tennis courts, a lighted-lane running track and multiple lighted fields for soccer, softball, lacrosse and more.

Students, faculty and staff can check out sports and recreational equipment at no charge from the ICI Center front desk, and the facility is available for open recreation.

The Athletics Center is located on the west side of campus in Building 80 and was recently renovated with a new Fitness Center. The renovation plan completed in 2015 included $4.2M worth of remodeling and renovations that brought to campus a new basketball court and bleachers, new training equipment and offices for staff. The fitness center is home to a weight room and new cardio room, which features flat-screen TVs on the walls, elliptical machines, treadmills, stair-steppers and other cardio equipment. Just off the main lobby is the aerobics room, which offers various exercise classes, including yoga, Zumba and even ballroom dancing.

Attached to the Athletics Center is the Eagle Gym, which is open during fitness center hours for students to play a pick-up game of basketball or indoor soccer, take advantage of the indoor climbing wall or possibly catch an intramural dodgeball tournament. The men’s and women’s locker rooms are also found here. This multipurpose space hosts University-sponsored events, such as OctoberWest and the International Festival, as well as ROTC training exercises. The 96x60-foot gym surface is equipped for basketball and volleyball.

The wrestling and volleyball teams as well as various intramural sports teams spend their time competing in the Activity Center (Building 83) that sits just behind the Athletics Center and Eagle Gym. This space features two full-sized basketball courts on the classic hardwood gymnasium floor, and retractable bleachers can transform the space for larger events. The 120x120-foot gym can hold up to 1,900 people and is used for other events, such as orientation, graduation, the Career Expo and Information Fair, as well as local and state youth sporting events.

Just north of the intramural and softball fields sit the pool and courts for various sports. The 25-yard pool is open from mid-April until mid-October and has equipment for water basketball available for student use.

If you find yourself in need of a quick dip in the winter, student activities plans the “polar bear plunge” for those brave enough to drop into those cold waters. The pool area sports a deck for sunbathing as well as poolside lounge chairs. A student monitor is on-site from 1-5 p.m. The pool is open to Embry-Riddle students, faculty, staff and their guests (with a guest pass). Children 14 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.

Surrounding the pool area are the tennis, sand volleyball and racquetball courts. The tennis and volleyball courts are lit for nighttime use. One racquetball court has been converted into the Matted Room for activities like yoga, martial arts and boxing.

Note: Student monitors are not certified lifeguards. Please use caution whenever in or around the pool area.
