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.
The Fitness Lectures will be held at the Thomas Lee Hall Library. The purpose of the lectures is to provide information on nutrition, fitness, and how to be the healthiest person you can be. The lectures will be held every Wednesday at 11:30am. Please bring your brown bag lunch and join us for these free lectures. Just click below to link to any of our lectures to help you on your fitness journey. For more information or contact Pam Greene at 751-5768. Join us!

The 2nd annual Scavenger Hunt Bike Ride was again, a great adventure! Our event puts a whole new spin on a childhood outing? That’s what we have created with our Scavenger Hunt Ride. The FMWR Fitness Department and the Solomon Center invite people 18 years of age and older to participate in the Scavenger Hunt Bike Ride. Our mission is to have you race around Fort Jackson collecting items that improve your physical health.
Each rider will be given a map to guide them and 3 hours to collect all items on the list. Some items will have a higher value than others so you want to make sure you collect as many as possible. Each of these health items that you find are yours to keep! Once the event is over, we will do a photo finish and celebrate with a brunch in your honor.
This year our numbers doubled and the aroma of healthy competition was in the air! Take a look at our photo gallery of bikers and make sure next year you are a biker in our Scavenger Hunt.
