Piedmont University Athletics

Piedmont University's 2700 square foot fitness center has undergone a remarkable transformation, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. The renovation, highlighted by a fresh and vibrant paint job, brilliantly integrates the iconic Piedmont Lion brand with the campus wellness and strength and conditioning department and the addition of four custom design weightlifting racks designed by Elite FTS company. 

The carefully selected colors evoke energy, resilience, and unity, mirroring the university's values. This revitalized space not only fosters a sense of community but also inspires students and student-athletes to embrace their personal fitness goals. The fusion of branding and fitness underscores Piedmont's commitment to holistic student development. The renovated fitness center stands as a testament to the university's dedication to both physical and symbolic growth.

The four new racks will allow for better sports performance training at a much higher and safer level than ever before. 

 Coach Delf wants to offer an invitation to all alumni of Piedmont University to see the new spirit and heartbeat of Piedmont University Athletics.
