WV Fitness

More than one million people were expected to join a gym in the month of January alone, according to the International Health, Racquet and Sports Club Association in Boston.  Millions of individuals begin their new year with change, possibly changes to better one’s self.  The change may have to do with finances, relationships, or  more commonly “to get in shape” or “be more healthy.”  Does this sound familiar?  Fortunately, for the thousands of mountaineers that reside here in Morgantown we have an untapped resource…WVU!

With today’s economy being in shambles for so many people tend to cut out non essentials.  For many a gym membership or a personal trainer is viewed as a non essential.  West Virginia University offers wonderful fitness and activity classes at very reasonable prices.  These classes are offered through the College of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences in the lifetime activities program.  Classes include scuba diving, pilates, zumba, and the list goes on.  You may join classes for the individual or family.  There are a variety of classes geared only toward children.  These classes include babysplash, choosy kids club, young walkers, and many more.  For more information look online at www.lifetimeactivities.org or call 304-293-0859.

Being a recent graduate of the College of Physical Activity and Sport Science I am confident in saying that the individuals who instruct class through the lifetime activities program are highly qualified.  The classes offered are of great variety and great price.  Price shouldn’t even be an issue when it comes to improving one’s health.  Health is priceless and if you have good health…well then you’re a millionaire.

Good luck in your new year ventures and the best of luck in 2009!
