Whether you’re a Varsity Athlete, an Intramural superstar, a novice fitness guru, or a supporter of the Dolphins, the Mount Saint Vincent Athletic facilities are here to meet all of your sports and fitness needs. Located in the Grace Fitness Center, the Mount’s Athletic facilities are open to all current Mount students, faculty, and staff. All you need is a valid Mount Saint Vincent identification and you’re welcome to join us!

Mount Saint Vincent offers the following Athletic Facilities:

• Grace Fitness Center: After a major upgrade during the Fall of 2004, the Grace Fitness Center is now the home of more than 2,500 feet of state-of-the-art fitness equipment. With two separate rooms featuring brand-new Cybex equipment, the Mount now features a facility that rivals commercial fitness facilities in the area. The Nautilus room features elliptical machines, exercise bikes, treadmills, stair-masters, and more than a dozen Cybex weight-bearing machines that allow a user a full circuit work-out. The Nautilus room also has a stretching area that is spacious enough for abdominal work, kickboxing classes, and even yoga!

The free weight room is the newest addition to the Grace Fitness Center. With four brand-new Olympic benches, a Smith Press, racks of free weights, and a dip bar, the free weight facility is for the advanced trainer who takes his or her craft seriously. Renovations to this room not only included the new equipment, but a fresh coat of paint in the Mount Saint Vincent blue and gold, and will soon include new surface to the floor to create an optimal weight training environment!

• Hayes Gymnasium: Home to the Mount Saint Vincent Basketball and Volleyball programs, the Hayes Gymnasium is considered one of the most intimidating home courts in the region. Its unique design makes the Hayes Gym one of the loudest places to play. When not in use by our varsity sports, the Hayes Gymnasium features six basketball hoops for either a shoot-around or a pick-up game, and plenty of space for the Mount Saint Vincent intramural program. Indoor intramural sports include Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, and many others!

• Grace Center Swimming Pool: When the Mount Saint Vincent Women’s Swimming team is not preparing for a run at the Hudson Valley Women’s Athletic Conference (HVWAC) Championship, the Grace Center Swimming Pool is open for nearly 30 hours per week for use by the Mount Saint Vincent community. The three-lane pool allows lap-swimming to stay in shape, or just a chance to splash around!

• Tennis Courts: Mount Saint Vincent features a proud tennis tradition, and our Tennis Courts – located behind the Grace Center – offer experienced and novice tennis players alike an opportunity to improve their game. The Mount has three courts that are regulation for NCAA play, and they are open for use as long as the sun is up!
