Welcome to the Fitness Centre at StFX!

The new StFX Fitness Centre has been designed to enhance your workouts and equip you with a variety of options that leave you excited and ready to come back again!

Our Fitness Centre was completely re-built as part of transformational renovations to the Amelia Saputo Centre for Healthy Living. We're proud to welcome students and members of the broader community to our state-of-the-art facility, with new equipment, lots of space, and programming opportunities to support all of your fitness goals.
