The Fitness & Wellness program area supports the mission of Student Recreation & Wellness Services through a variety of services and programs.

The vision of our wellness program is to provide a variety of programs and resources to the campus community promoting health and wellness.

The vision of our  fitness program is to provide opportunities and resources that support and enhance healthy lifestyles.

We aim to provide these services and programs in the context of an inviting environment that is accepting of all shapes, sizes, and abilities - even Zippy!
