The Athletics Department is excited to welcome all the new Fall 2020 Gladiators and meet again the students who are already part of our amazing community at John Cabot University. It is important for us at Athletics to underline and give credit to the terrific work that the entire JCU community has done and continues doing in order to guarantee the safety of all students and staff. For this reason, we are happy to invite all Gladiators to participate in the different sports activities offered this semester.
Being a JCU Gladiator has many meanings, but most importantly, it means being able to always find new ways to overcome difficulties and create new opportunities even in hard times. The pandemic has presented us with a challenge that we, as Gladiators, accepted fiercely in order to keep doing our sports activities, following all the rules and limitations given by the safety policy. It was not an easy task to accomplish, but we made it because JCU Gladiators are unstoppable even in pandemic times. Our Fitness Center is now officially open, and all students, staff, and faculty members are more than welcome to reserve a spot and enjoy a great workout at the gym.

Please, remember to always bring a mask, a pair of clean gym shoes, and JCU ID with you. In order to respect the safety policy, the Athletics Dpt. team members will be ready to help you out at the entrance of the gym and explain you the few steps you need to take to workout safely.
Moreover, we are more than happy to invite you to participate in our outdoor fitness activities, which include Yoga, Kick Boxing, HIIT, Boot-camp, and Running. Fitness classes are an important part of our department. For this reason, we found a way to solve the limitations of the small space of our classroom at the gym, which would have not been safe to use for a fitness class. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful and warm city which allows us to do physical activities along the Tiber or in a great park. Click Here to get all the information about the fitness classes and to sign up.
If you’re not able to physically attend our fitness classes or can’t reach the gym, don’t panic! JCU Gladiators are active online and offer virtual fitness sessions, which also includes Cheerdance! You really don’t want to miss any of them, so find the schedule, sign up Here to get the Zoom meeting link, and save the dates.
Don’t worry, we didn’t forget about Intramural tournaments. As we said, JCU Gladiators are unstoppable!
