Intramurals
Intramural Sports are where you compete against (and play with) other Farmington students, usually after classes or in the evenings.
Most intramurals here are co-ed and they’re a great way to get to know other students and take a well-deserved break from the books. Student participation in intramurals is big. And the fun is huge.
Fitness & Recreation Center
Open 7 days a week, year-round, the on-campus UMF Fitness & Recreation Center is the hub of student health, activity — and outdoor recreation through its Mainely Outdoors adventures program.
- Fully-equipped weight room with free weights and machines
- A large cardio fitness area with equipment
- Three multi-purpose courts
- 1/8 mile walking/jogging track
- 25-yard swimming pool
It also offers group fitness classes for all levels and abilities (step-aerobics, spinning, yoga, pilates, water workout, etc.), professional fitness trainers, swim lessons, and more. It’s also the home of our popular Intramural Sports program.
The Fitness & Recreation Center is also the home of UMF Club Sports and Intramurals and right next door is the UMF Mainely Outdoors building / program.
