ASI now Managing the Bronco Fitness Center

As most of you know, the Bronco Fitness Center is now under new management.



A lot of you are wondering what the means? 

The Bronco Fitness Center was operated by an outside fitness company called Club One over the past 9 years.  Club One was here to operate the Bronco Fitness Center and maintain the facility since Campus Recreation didn't have enough sufficient resources to run it's own facility.  Most recently, Gema Barrios who was the program manager and Steve Garcia who was the assistant program manager worked under Club One as well as all of the other employees including the front desk staff and the personal trainers.

As of June 30th the contract with Club One ended, meaning Gema and Steve were no longer working at the BFC.  All the student staff had to reapply and interview for their positions.  Happy to say the student staff working for Club One is back working in the BFC along with some new faces. I was offered the position of Fitness Assistant and will oversee the BFC and the programs. Shelbi Long is the Campus Recreation Coordinator and now oversees Intramurals and the Bronco Fitness Center.

As of June 30th, 2012 ALL MEMBERSHIPS were cancelled.  If there are any discrepancies with billing prior to July contact Club One @ http://www.cluboneinc.com/contact-us/

The only way to become a member again is to sign up at the BFC or online @ https://online.spectrumng.net/CalPoly/Members/SignUp/JoinOnline.aspx

As for the BFC and how it affects you the member, there isn't too much to worry about.  Student fees will continue to be $18.00 a month and Faculty/Staff is 28.00.  We know that summer is usually slow because there aren't many students around campus but we are offering Group X classes such as Ryan Benito's Body Tone Monday and Wednesdays 12-1pm and Zumba Tuesday and Thursdays 6:30-7:30 pm.

This upcoming Fall we have plenty of programs such as our annual bench competition, 5k run/walk, and the Bronco Fitness Center's first ever fall combine.  Be sure to sign up as a member online or come on into the BFC.
