The Downer Family Fitness Center

Opened in 2015, the Downer Family Fitness Center is home to Exeter Strength and Conditioning and is a community hub for health, wellness, and training. The 9,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility includes 12 power-rack platforms with free weights, an array of pneumatic function trainers, and numerous treadmills, ellipticals, and stationary bikes. In the center of the space lives a 25-yard artificial turf surface that provides space for plyometric and agility training. This space is fully equipped to be able to support student-athletes in their preseason, in-season and postseason workouts to help them excel in their sport. Two full-time strength and conditioning coaches are able to provide workout sessions to in-season athletes at the varsity and junior varsity level, providing students with guidance and instruction on how to best train their bodies to success.
