You. Fit. At Trent.
Sport, Recreation & Wellness for All

The renewed and expanded athletics and recreation facilities at Trent will provide the ideal place for individuals and groups of all ages and abilities to get involved, get active, and truly experience the benefits of embracing a healthy lifestyle. 

Responding to the Needs of Seniors
Seniors and all of those with age-related health care issues will benefit significantly from Trent’s renewed community programming as well as state-of-the-art new features, including a therapy tank and therapy clinic. At Trent, this important and growing community group will discover the merits of maintaining an active lifestyle at any age.

Energizing Youth
Child and youth activity is a priority for Trent, the city, the province and the country. New and enhanced activities and programming at Trent University can be part of the answer to an escalating inactivity and obesity crisis.

At Trent, children and youth are engaged in fun-filled activities and initiatives, such as the Trent Summer Sports Camp, that not only fight against the increasing rates of obesity but also develop positive self-image and self-esteem. The investments in new facilities and programming will ensure that Trent is able to continue and build on this important mandate, making a positive difference in the lives of children and youth for years to come.

Engaging Persons with Disabilities
For the 15,000 individuals in Peterborough City and County who are identified as having physical disabilities, the renewed facilities at Trent University will be of major benefit. Among the new features of the facility, the therapy tank will be especially helpful to the additional 16,000 community members who suffer with arthritis and other joint and muscle problems. New and revitalized special programming for persons with disabilities and increased wheelchair access will also make it easier than ever before for all community members, regardless of ability, to take advantage of the new facilities and lead a more active and healthy lifestyle.

Meeting the Needs of the Business Community
For members of the business community, the new and improved facilities at Trent will provide a much-needed remedy for the stresses of work. By using state-of-the-art equipment in the cardio loft, taking advantage of the many outdoor trails around Trent, or booking a massage at the new therapy clinic, workers will gain relief and feel more productive on the job. Employers will experience higher rates of employee retention, satisfaction and productivity, and decreases in employee health claims, stress, and short-term absenteeism when staff have access to fitness and therapy facilities at Trent.

Helping Students Achieve Balance
At Trent, we recognize that athletics and other recreational pursuits are as important as in-class experiences for all of our students. We also know that as savvy consumers, today’s students are choosing schools not only based on reputation for academic excellence but also on the physical surroundings and on-campus facilities, including athletics. A renewed and expanded on-campus centre for athletics and recreation will allow Trent to offer the complete package of academics and athletics to students for years to come.

For all of user groups and individuals, access to the sport and recreation facilities at Trent will provide opportunities to explore and lead active lifestyles, and will help to eliminate stress, combat disease and contribute to overall health.
