# Campus rec equipment, documented to the standard you answer to. > Fitness Asset Manager (FAM) helps university recreation and campus fitness departments track every piece of equipment across every building, schedule preventive maintenance, manage work orders, and keep the documented maintenance history that compliance reviews and risk management depend on. Canonical page: https://www.fitnessassets.com/universities ## High traffic, many buildings, and someone to answer to. A university recreation department runs some of the most heavily used fitness equipment anywhere — often spread across a main rec center, satellite fitness rooms, residence-hall gyms, and athletics weight rooms. Much of the day-to-day work is done by student employees who turn over every year. And unlike a private gym, the department answers to an institution: risk management, auditors, and administrators who expect proof that equipment is inspected and maintained. Paper logs and personal spreadsheets tend to leave with whoever kept them. ## The service record of any machine, on demand. Every inspection, preventive maintenance task, and repair in FAM is timestamped and stored with notes, parts, costs, and photos against the machine it belongs to. If a patron is injured, you can produce that equipment's complete maintenance history in minutes instead of searching filing cabinets. - Timestamped audit trail for every task - Photo documentation of repairs - Export to Excel or PDF for risk management ## Every fitness space on campus, in one view. Set up each building or fitness room as its own facility and see them all together — equipment counts, open tasks, and overdue items — or drill into one space and its full history. - Each fitness space tracked separately - Open and overdue tasks across campus - Filter by facility, manufacturer, or model ## Data for capital requests. Logins for everyone. FAM tracks the lifetime repair cost and downtime of every machine, so equipment replacement requests can be backed with data instead of anecdotes. All users at each location are included with no per-user fees — professional staff, student employees, and outside service technicians can all log and work on issues without adding seat costs. FAM is 100% cloud-based and runs in a web browser, so there's nothing to install. - Equipment cost and downtime history - Replacement planning backed by data - No per-user fees for student staff ## Frequently asked questions ### What software do university recreation centers use to manage fitness equipment?
