With the opening of the Beauchamp Recreation and Wellness Center on Aug. 24, the UP community has one fewer reason not to work out this year. But they may have to battle the crowds - last Tuesday, over 1900 students, faculty and staff used the center - its busiest day yet. With three fitness studios, three indoor courts, a suspended running track and more, there is something for everyone at the Rec Center.
