Wellness at Wilmington College

At Wilmington College, we are dedicated to your well being as you establish the foundations for your future.

Physical fitness should be a key part of everyone’s comprehensive wellness regimen. College students who engage in a regular fitness routine are more likely to continue those healthy habits throughout their lives, oftentimes contributing to a more successful lifestyle. Wilmington College is committed to providing its students with quality fitness facilities, opportunities and instruction. We’re here to help you establish and attain your personal fitness goals.

The College not only offers you a wide variety of ways in which to become physically fit in the QRC, it also accommodates your interest in running through road races like the popular fall and spring 5Ks, table tennis and disc golf tournaments, intramural sports and special programming highlighting topics ranging from good nutrition and spirituality to leadership development.

The beautiful 2,184 sq. ft. Group Fitness Room contains a variety of cardio machines including four treadmills, two woodway machines, four elliptical machines, a recumbent bicycle, a rowing machine and four Spinner brand spinning bikes. Additionally, other equipment such as free weights, a weight bench, cable weight machine area, kettlebells, medicine balls, stability balls and yoga mats can be used. Most QuakerFit classes are conducted in the Group Fitness Room. Full perimeter mood lighting helps early morning yogis find bliss as they practice in front of wall-mounted mirrors. The room sports a 55” flat screen TV and a bluetooth speaker for visitors to enjoy. Wi-Fi is available throughout the facility.

A spacious, 483 sq. ft. carpeted Spinning Studio has 15 Spinner brand bikes, a quality sound system, wall-mounted mirrors, and mood lighting to create the ultimate Spinning experience.

The Men's Quaker Wrestling Team enjoys a designated 62x31 ft. room in the QRC that is padded wall-to-wall (and up the wall) and locker room.

QRC patrons will enjoy a newly renovated space for boxing classes, basketball gym for pick-up basketball games, intramural sports and group fitness classes in January of 2026. Included in the renovations will be a resurfaced indoor walking/running track offering a bird’s eye view of the entire gym as patrons make 16.5 laps to reach a mile.

The QRC has both men’s and women’s locker rooms with restrooms.

Patrons can schedule an orientation at the QRC to learn more about using the equipment and getting started with a workout program.
