Fitness for Fun

This community-based fitness program is designed to assist individuals in developing healthier lifestyles through education and a structured exercise routine. Although the program is designed for the adult exerciser, student trainers are well-prepared for exercisers of different ages and backgrounds. Participants receive a comprehensive fitness assessment, a personalized exercise prescription and a semester of personal training. Follow-up assessments at the program's conclusion allow participants to chart their progress and develop future exercise strategies to fit their areas of interest. Signing up is easy.
