What is CIT FIT & WELL?
CIT FIT & WELL at Bruce Campus is a fully student run fitness centre and provides Sport and Fitness students with the opportunity to gain practical industry experience.
It is open to staff, students and the general public, as well as being the home gym of ACT AFL and cricket teams.
CIT FIT & WELL students work with athletes for training and injury management, ACT Health patients for rehabilitation and the general public for fitness training.
CIT FIT & WELL opened in August 2009 in its great new location in A Block. The fitness centre is now more accessible and visible on Bruce Campus than the previous campus gym.
The interior design was done by Centre for Creative Industries Interior Design students, overseen by teacher Lisa Biddiscombe. Special attention was paid to the colour scheme and there was an effort to bring the outside in.
It was officially opened on 11 August by Minster for Education and Sport, Mr Andrew Barr MLA.
