The center offers Fitness and Weight Management For Life, a year-round program which teaches proper exercise and how to maintain a healthy weight.
Individuals can join the program at any time during the year.
The benefits of joining the program versus exercising and dieting alone include instruction and the social aspect of group activity. Monday classes focus on weight training. A supervised weight lifting program is customized as individuals progress. Wednesday classes involve an activity for the group to socialize and have fun. Thursday classes center on lectures by the instructors, who are graduate assistants pursuing a master's degree in exercise science.
