The Center for Physical Wellness
The Hart building was named for a prominent Idaho state legislator who served on the school’s Board of Education for over 20 years, the last 8 years as chairman. He led the appeal to the state legislature and the Church during the 1930's to keep the school open. The Fitness Center now includes a cardio section with treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines and bikes, a spinning section where classes are held, and an open gym area with dumbbells, bench presses, and various machines.

Did You Know?
The Hart Building’s fitness center was the original location for the Field House, an indoor practice facility for the Ricks College football team.
"One of the reasons I love the Hart Building is for all of the concerts that go on in there. I’m a Performing Arts major and was actually able to perform onstage with one of the actors from the Broadway show Hamilton when he was here for a concert."
"I don’t really like working out to workout. So, if I’m having fun, then it doesn’t feel like a workout. That’s one reason I love all the activities and sport options available in the Hart. I’m always having fun and end up getting a workout while I’m at it."

Weekly devotionals and other campus-wide gatherings were held in the Hart Building’s auditorium and basketball arena before the BYU-Idaho Center was built.
