"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We all know \u201CBo knows.\u201D But at Nike World Headquarters outside of Beaverton, Ore., Bo knows training and fitness. The 60,000-square-foot training center named after Bo Jackson makes that clear, but the impressive facility is just one of the fitness-focused sites on the sprawling campus southwest of Portland.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the roughly 200 acres that make up the campus and surrounding Nike-owned and Nike-leased property, some 5,500 employees\u2014Nike doesn\u2019t give out official numbers\u2014have access to not only the Bo Jackson center, but also the 75,000-square-foot Sports Performance Center (it once had Lance Armstrong\u2019s name attached to it), multiple outdoor fields, tennis courts and an outdoor track and trails.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let\u2019s start in the Bo. Designed in 1989, the campus\u2019s original fitness center has multiple weight rooms, a cross training room, yoga studios, racquetball and squash courts and aerobic rooms on three floors. Nike-sponsored athletes make regular appearances within the Bo, testing product and grabbing a workout when in town on business.\r\n\r\n\r\n\t&lt;strong&gt;MORE EDGE: Training safer with new football tackling technology&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But that\u2019s not all. A glass-encased basketball court ushers in the Oregon sunlight\u2014when it does shine\u2014and plays host to NBA teams desiring a workout ahead of games against the Blazers. Nike employees can sign up for multiple lunchtime leagues, pitting teams of similarly skilled players against each other. Of course, you never know when the likes of Kevin Durant will stop in when visiting Nike\u2014as has happened\u2014to shoot around.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ringing the court, suspended above it, a two-lane track offers some indoor running options.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inside the lobby of the Bo, expect a lounge, drop-in childcare space, meeting rooms, lockers and showers.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just out the back of the Bo, a full-sized turf field exists for Nike soccer leagues or even kickball leagues and product testing. The field is made from Nike\u2019s Grind material, recycled Nike shoes.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the Bo sits too far away from your office, wander over to the Sports Performance Center, opened in 2001, which features a glass-encased Olympic-size swimming pool. The two-story center\u2019s 30-foot-high glass window walls also hold weight rooms, workout studios, a spin room and a rock-climbing wall.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Between the center and the Tiger Woods Center\u2014the campus\u2019 major conference center\u2014you\u2019ll find two full international-sized grass soccer fields\u2014Ronaldo (the original Ronaldo, as made obvious by his statue located there) Fields\u2014used for everything from football to soccer to lacrosse.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u200BIf you want to walk or run at 1 Bowerman Dr., you have options. A two-mile woodchip trail rings the campus, which is largely hemmed in by a berm created when crews excavated space for Lake Nike in the middle of campus. The trail even cuts through campus in parts.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nestled in wooded property in the corner of campus you\u2019ll find the five-lane, all-weather Michael Johnson Track where Nike-sponsored Olympians such as Mo Farah and Galen Rupp put spikes to the test.\r\n\r\n\r\n\t&lt;strong&gt;MORE EDGE: How surfer Ian Walsh trains to take on 70-ft. waves&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Across the street you\u2019ll find the 1.5-mile soft dirt Hollister Trail, named after a former Nike employee Geoff Hollister, offering a third outdoor running surface.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nike ups the options for fitness activities on campus. Bo knows.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tim Newcomb covers stadiums, design and gear for Sports Illustrated.
