Fitness Programs
The Club
This program recognizes the achievement of Drexel University students, faculty, staff, and community members in the area of weightlifting. Males must achieve 1000 lbs or greater in the bench press, squat and deadlift. Females must achieve 500 lbs or greater in all three events. Successful participants will have his/her picture taken and posted on the 3rd floor "Club" bulletin board for recognition of their achievement.
*As an alternative, males may also join the 500 lb club by successfully completing the bench press and either the squat or deadlift.
