The Junge Pavilion is an ice rink in Bryn Athyn, PA that is used by a local high school and college. For a college fitness class and other activities, the ice rink surface is covered with artificial turf. The turf area is divided in half, with one side for warmups and the other for circuit training exercises called the "Core Four." The Core Four circuit consists of four stations spaced around the turf, each performed for one minute before moving to the next station with a 20 second transition exercise like planks. Examples of the stations are exercises with a physioball, lunges, mountain climbers, and medicine ball slams. The class also includes group exercises like speed ladder drills and

Facility Description
- The Junge Pavilion, which is located in Bryn Athyn, PA, is an ice rink
used both by the neighboring high school (ANC), and the college (BAC).
For the purposes of the BAC in Shape fitness class, and for various
other sports and activities, the rink’s surface is covered with a layer of
turf for summer usage. For the BAC in Shape fitness class, the pavilion’s
turf surface was divided in half; one half of the turf was used for the
warm up, cool down, and group work sections of the class, and the other
was used for the main portions of the work out, like the “Core Four.”

three and four. Each station is done for a full minute, and
when that minute is done, a twenty second transition
exercise is performed. The participant is supposed to be
constantly moving, either performing the exercise at the
station, doing the transition exercise, or running to the next
station.
