"Today we had an open house event to promote the SRC and all the programs and functions we have here, from intramurals, to rock wall, to instructional classes, drop-in classes, as well as the beautiful facilities," said Gabriel Altamirano, SRC building manager.

"(The) turnout was very good. We kind of lured people in with free Subway sandwiches and some other opportunity drawings such as gift cards. And we had quite a few people come through the doors and learn about the programs and trainings we have here," said Altamirano, who helped set up the event.

Sarah Duncan, a Cal State Fullerton student and SRC lifeguard, was at the open house and said "iFest" had all of the programs displayed and referenced, using a clever naming system. Some displayed were "iClimb," the 35-foot rock-climbing wall at the front entrance and "iSwim," the outdoor pool. "iTrain" is the personal training program available and "iPlay" covers the intramural sports offered to students at both competitive and recreational levels.

Students who stayed for the entire event had a chance to win a $10 iTunes gift card or the iPod shuffles that were raffled off, Duncan said.

"Most people, when they join, never know about the cardio studio," Duncan said. "And the martial arts room that was just redone makes them two of the SRC's best-kept secrets."

Gabriel Castaneda, 23, a mechanical engineering major, did not attend the open house but uses the SRC at least twice a week.

"I think just because it offers a lot of variety and it offers several classes like dancing, yoga, so it pretty much offers a little bit for everybody," Castaneda said.

Castaneda started coming to the SRC when it opened.

"It's an improvement from what it was previously, and it's more convenient for me because that way I don't have to drive all the way down to the Brea 24-Hour Fitness. I can just come here straight after class and it's part of your tuition," he said.

Castaneda had his own SRC secret to share.

"Best kept? You can actually come here and at least do some studying since they have couches and sofas and stuff, so you can somewhat relax," he said.

The center has one open house each semester and students are encouraged to attend.

"It's just a great time to learn about the facility and you get to ask questions, people are there to help you and guide you on which fitness classes might be more beneficial for you. They kind of assess you and what your goals are around fitness and wellness, and it's just a great way to learn things. It's a really fun environment and inviting people in is a fun atmosphere," Altamirano said.

Altamirano had another secret from behind the SRC walls.

"The best-kept secret is the tremendous amount of work that goes into putting on this building and making it such a great facility for students to come in and enjoy a clean, healthy and fun atmosphere for recreational use," he said.
