Johnston Gym & Fitness Center

The Johnston Gymnasium offers a wide variety of opportunities for our students here at Eastern Maine Community College. A new fitness facility has been built that features new cardio and strength equipment, along with a variety of free-weight exercise options. All students are encouraged to take a jog on the new treadmills, burn calories on the ellipticals and recumbent bikes, and to build muscle strength with our new line of Paramount© Strength Equipment. Even if a few of you and your friends want to come and throw a football around, or play in a friendly volleyball match, the Johnston Gymnasium provides that opportunity. Johnston Gymnasium is also the home of the EMCC Golden Eagle Men’s and Women’s Basketball Teams. The gym also is the home of many recreational and intramural opportunities, as well as the home venue for the Bangor Christian Patriots High School Basketball games. The gym is also available for rent to outside organizations. Please e-mail Kent Corey, Director of Johnston Gymnasium/Athletics at kcorey@emcc.edu.
