With three-stories made out of the same black panels as the Student Dormitory along with transparent windows running along the top floor, the Fitness Center is one of the larger structures present on the grounds and not too far of a walk from the Central Building.  Upon entering through the sliding doors, the students check in with a receptionist at the front desk before heading off to various locations depending on what they intend to do.  Stairs connect the different floors although there is also a large elevator that runs through the middle of the building, allowing access to the lower levels.  Only authorized S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel (Clearance Level 6) and approved members are able to access the lower level, requiring an eye-scanner as well as fingerprint identification.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">First Floor (Locker Rooms | Indoor Track | Swimming Pool)</span><br/>The first floor contains the reception desk where students can check in.  From there, students can enter into two separate rooms separated by gender which contain lockers, lavatories and showers to change if they desire to, as well as store any valuables.  Upon exiting, there is the choice of whether to walk up a ramp towards the elevated indoor track (200 meters per lap) or continue forwards towards the pool area, which includes a swimming pool, which is half the size of an standard Olympic pool (20 meters length-wise).  Lanes are usually roped in the last four lanes for those that want them while the other six are typically left open.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Second Floor (Sparring Area)</span><br/>The second floor houses the area for those who wish to spar or desire the things needed for increasing one's fighting technique.  There are two regulation-sized boxing rings for use, both 20 by 20 feet, which has padding on the surface and tension ropes lining each side.  There are also different stations scattered housing equipment such as heavy bags, speed bags, and swerve balls, all of different tensile strength and durability.  Other equipment is available, which can range from safety-oriented gloves to hand/kick pads which a mentor could use in their teaching.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Third Floor (Gym)</span><br/>The third floor is different from the other two in that there are ceiling-to-floor windows acting as the outer wall, while the others are lined sporadically with mirrors.  This level contains the more traditional gym equipment and machines, all of which can be set to a level that the person desires.  There are treadmills, exercise bicycles, elliptical machines, and rowers available for more cardiovascular activity and a range of free-weights, as well as, barbells with a variety of bumper plates for those who desire to focus on their strength.  Jump-ropes, medicine balls, and kettle bells can be found in one of the corners, as well, near the two stations set up for short rope-climbs (15 feet high).<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 6pt;">Originally written by Keldia</span><br/><br/>IC tag:<br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img height=200 padding=8]http://placehold.jpg[/img][/floatleft]<br/>[b]Name:[/b] <br/>[b]Alias:[/b] <br/>[b]Dorm Assignment:[/b] <br/>[b]Location:[/b] <br/>[b]Date/Time:[/b] <br/>[b]Tagging:[/b] <br/>[hr] <br/></code></pre>
