First In Fitness
First In Fitness is a local health club offers a special rate for Goddard students and faculty: ”10-day college pass” for $39 (the typical daily rate is $15/day).
First in Fitness has 2 facilities, one in Montpelier and one in Berlin. They are both about 20 minutes from Goddard. The Berlin facility has a pool. Choose what facility you would like to go to, bring your Goddard i.d., and ask for the special 10-day college pass.
Exercise room
The Exercise Room is now open in the basement of the Studies Building from 6:30 am to 8 pm. Studies is the building near the Community Center and beside Kilpatrick. Right now it is modest - we have an elliptical machine, a cross-country ski machine (donated by student Wendy Clark), and weights and a bench. We are seeking further donations (is there a piece of exercise equipment in your basement gathering dust?). To discuss equipment needs contact scott.blanchard@goddard.edu.
Taylor Farm Road and Goddard Trails (walks/runs)
Taylor Farm Road is a scenic country road well-suited for walks from campus. It is across route 214 and has little traffic (unlike Route 2 which has lots).
To access beautiful trails through the Goddard woods contact the Help Desk or Claudia Marieb so we can tell you where the trails starts.
Residency Schedule
Check out the residency schedule for movement offerings. If you are a yoga or other movement instructor and would like to offer a class, please contact claudia.marieb@goddard.edu to schedule it.
Other
Bikes, basket balls, hula hoops (yes), and yoga mats are available to check out from the Help Desk. We can also give you information about hikes nearby.
