Villanova has two athletic facilities for non-athlete students, faculty, and staff: the Farley Fitness Center and the Stanford Fitness Center. During the school year, each are open Monday-Friday 7am-9pm and Saturday and Sunday 10am-6pm. Both facilities feature cardio machines, weight machines, and free weights. Classes such as Yoga and Pilates are also offered.

What Students Think

Non-athlete students are not that pleased with Farley and Stanford Fitness Centers. They complain that the facilities are plain and are not maintained that well; there is usually always a broken machine. Also they lack televisions and can get very crowded at peak hours.
