On their first visit, students are required to fill out a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire, a letter of consent, and attend an orientation session. The session informs students of the rules and regulations and familiarizes them with the session equipment. The center also performs fitness tests such as body composition, target heart rate, strength and flexibility, and muscle endurance. The results of these tests can be used by the center's staff to develop a personal nutrition or exercise plan. There are also many treadmills and step climbers available for 25 minutes each.
Students are thankful for the resources now available.
All equipment, including steps and weights, is provided. The classes were coordinated by Anthony Fiorenza, director of the Student Life Department, and are intended to help students relieve stress and burn fat. She teaches credit aerobics classes at the Kendall Campus, and also teaches at Bally's gym. The intensity level of the class depends on the student's capabilities. Steps can be adjusted to a height that is comfortable and safe, or can be eliminated from the workout completely.
