Open Gym
Each campus offers open gym hours for MC students. Our facilities are fully equipped with a variety of equipment to ensure that you will get a great workout. View open gym hours and locations.
As businesses, government, and insurance organizations continue to recognize the benefits of health and fitness programs, there is tremendous job growth for students who enter the fields of health enhancement, exercise science, and physical education.
At MC we offer degree programs, certificates, and courses to help you enter these fields. Whether you are interested in a career in the industry or just want to learn how to be healthy, we have something for you.
