Under the umbrella of the Sports Office I am located in the fitness department. My job assignment is to bring variety and spice to the fitness life. Unlike sports, fitness is described more like the daily maintenance people provide for their bodies to keep themselves healthy. The Fitness Department steps in and offers a variety of fitness classes throughout the day on land and in the water using certified fitness instructors. We feature wellness classes as a resource for the at work exerciser because fitness knows the value of the healthy worker. Lunch time walking, yoga, RUover 2?, aerobics, water fitness programs are all offered (and more) as options to help remove the opportunity for excuses.
The Fitness Department knows how easy it is to get bored with the treadmill, so special events that require exercise as its source of training are created like indoor triathlons, or hiking trips over standard treadmill walking. The Fitness Department brings basic nutrition support as well. Teaming up and going to the local restaurant for dining while dieting or learning to be a healthy food shopper with grocery store field trips are all part of our program
In short our mission is to spread the gift of health.

This program was created to offer healthy weight loss and low impact effective exercise for the individual over 200 pounds. Participants meet daily for approximately 45 minutes of low impact exercise followed by a 15 minute round table discussion on how things are going on their journey called better health.
Along with certified instructors, we are staffed with a certified nutritionist who will provide lectures, suggested reading and feedback on healthier eating. This program runs on a 14 week cycle.
If you currently have health concerns regarding your weight then this program could be for you. If you want support and direction from a program that focuses on where you are on the road towards better health then this program could be for you.
For the entire month of August, MWR will hold Triathlon training every Saturday morning.
This event will feature:
Running 3.0 miles
Biking 12 miles
Swimming 400 meters (down and back 4 times).
I am allowing non-swimmers to walk this length in the pool.
This triathlon will have all events take place indoors.
If you want to compete or just do it; join us every Saturday during August. Everyone is provided with a 10 week
training guide to use as a roadmap to get the most out of their time spent in training. If you have ever wanted to
compete against yourself, then performing an indoor Triathlon can be quite rewarding for you.
Get in shape, lose weight, challenge yourself. There are so many great reasons to ‘Try a Tri’ in the month of August.
Join us!
