Bridget Durocher runs through Finlandia fitness

March 17, 2017

Finlandia Fridays gets fit this week with Bridget Durocher, Finlandia’s cross country coach, senior women administrator in athletics, and strength and conditioning center coordinator.

1C7A4968Durocher joined Finlandia University nearly one year ago and has never looked back. “It’s phenomenal, it is a place of opportunity where if you put forth the effort, you are going to be given ample opportunities,” said Durocher. Starting off as Finlandia’s head cross country coach, she immediately found success and started to build her team. Her team was engaged on campus and excelled in athletics as well, building based off of leadership from students including Kaylor Holmstrom and Abigail Tembreull.

Durocher has brought about positive change to the newly renovated Paavo Nurmi Fitness Center as well. The Paavo Nurmi Fitness Center, a hidden gem in the Upper Peninsula, is a state of the art training facility designed for the elite athlete here at Finlandia but is also open to the public. Durocher welcomes newcomers to take a guided tour through the facilities including a private cardio studio. “Don’t let the athletes training intimate you, feed off of their energy,” said Durocher. Finlandia University offers numerous memberships and is offering community fitness classes.
