Fitness Center

Members of the University community can stay fit by frequenting the Fitness Center located on the main Lesley campus. Students can reduce stress while building agility, stamina and strength, by using the Universal equipment, treadmills, and the other cardiovascular equipment. Guidelines and hours are posted in the Center, with other information relevant to health and wellness. Students with disabilities who need accommodation should contact Disability Support Services.

Tennis Court

The tennis court is located on Wendell Street, behind the Plant Operations building.

The use of the tennis court is restricted to members of the University community, their guests, and members of the Agassiz neighborhood community. Sign-up sheets for reserving time on the tennis court are maintained at the Public Safety Office. Anyone reserving the tennis court must show a current Lesley ID, a driver’s license or other identification proving they are affiliated with Lesley or the Agassiz neighborhood community. At least one member of any group playing tennis must be able to show proper identification as outlined above, or the group may be requested to leave the tennis court. Reservations for playing times are restricted to one-hour periods only, starting on the hour.

Swimming Pool

Current Lesley students with a valid Student ID have access to the Cambridge War Memorial Pool at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School.
