Rio Hondo College

WHITTIER, CA. | October 1, 2013 – Rio Hondo College celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013. As a comprehensive community college, Rio Hondo offers many strong career-technical programs, such as nursing, fire and police academies, automotive and alternative fuels, a full transfer curriculum, and basic skills courses and services. The Division of Kinesiology, Dance and Athletics recently opened the new fitness center which now averages over 1500 students enrolled each semester.

Students now have a state of the art facility to achieve and maintain their cardiovascular health. The College developed the project and worked exclusively with The Dumbell Man Fitness Equipment® (TDM). The 13,000 square foot space includes cardio, strength and free weight equipment as well as dance and group exercise rooms.

Professor Kathy Pudelko stated, “Our student’s experience has benefited from our circuit training curriculum using the strength and cardio machines. They love our Cybex and the Hoist Roc-it equipment!”  The fitness offering features Cybex, Free Motion, and Hoist machines as part of the cross training program.
