Joe Jager, a service desk attendant, said HealthSport members can play basketball in an indoor court and take aerobic classes. HealthSport's brochure lists features such as a weight room and personal training. Greg Simmons, HSU's department chair for health and physical education, said some of the most popular classes on campus include martial arts and self-defense, taught by Dan Perez, and tai chi and yoga, taught by Dick Stull. Simmons said other physical education classes include tennis, racquetball, jogging, aerobics and swimming courses. Outdoor activities at HSU include backpacking courses, two levels of river kayaking, cross-country skiing and bicycling.
Students can also practice fitness by eating the right foods.
Rees Hughes, the director of student life at HSU, said a student committee takes a survey each fall to analyze changes in the diet preferences of on-campus students.
