Precor Case Study

Precor case study: Providing State University of Cortland with best-in-class exercise equipment and network capabilities

The State University of New York at Cortland campus recently completed a major project to completely rebuild their recreational centre. After a new build from the ground up, the center has become a standout feature of the campus. Precor’s best-in-class exercise equipment and innovative technological capabilities provided SUNY Cortland with the technology they desired.

The challenge

Faced with an immense project, The State University of New York at Cortland (SUNY Cortland) needed ample time to determine their best course of action. The university required advice and guidance throughout the design and development stages.

SUNY Cortland felt it was very important to provide a modernised fitness center to cater the needs of the students, faculty, and newly created community memberships, as well as keep up with their own standards of operation.

SUNY Cortland required a restock of equipment to furnish its newly designed areas with the latest technology and machines to provide a state-of-the-art fitness experience for the exercisers. However, the university lacked the infrastructure to have this product networked, which was a major challenge in the effort to modernise the facility.

It was a priority for SUNY Cortland to make the users of the center realize that it was constructed with their interests’ first, making networking and personalisation of the facility of top importance.

Support, expertise and advise throughout the process

Precor and Advantage Sport and Fitness (ASF) together provided SUNY Cortland with committed support throughout the five-year process.

SUNY Cortland looked to design their center in order to optimally orient equipment, creating an enjoyable and efficient workout space.

The university relied on both Precor’s and ASF’s design expertise and advise in the development stages all the way through building and installation.

The new layout includes an 8,664 square foot strength space as well as 3,400 square foot cardio area, with the facility measuring a total of 150,000 square feet.

Best-in-class exercise equipment and network capabilities

SUNY Cortland’s rebuild included discarding of old equipment and supplying their facilities consistently with Precor equipment.

Precor’s best-in-class exercise equipment and innovative technological capabilities provided SUNY Cortland with the technology they desired.

Precor’s and ASF’s expertise in media and infrastructure made it possible to transform the previously non-networked facility into a fully functional networked fitness space, creating the modern environment SUNY Cortland sought to accommodate present, as well as future, data demands.

Precor’s P80 with network capabilities, installed by Precor, populates the cardio area, allowing for extremely personalised, responsive workouts and connectivity between exercisers, the facility, and staff.

Using Precor media platforms, features such as welcome messages and in-workout messages allowed SUNY Cortland to communicate with exercisers, for example to promote other offerings within the recreation centre.

SUNY Cortland’s newly constructed fitness center allows the university to reap the benefits of the new extended membership program, as well as to maintain student and staff activity. The networked, media friendly facility encourages participation from all current exercisers while attracting future exercisers.
