"We've had quite a few [test takers]," said the interim wellness coordinator. "But not a lot of students are aware of it."
For $5, students and faculty can sign up for the "Fight the Fat" program, which monitors fitness levels between Nov. 14 and Jan. 16.
"It's a 10-week motivational program to lose weight over the holidays," said Gerlach.
She said participants of the two-month program take pre- and post-training measurements and are offered educational classes to discuss healthy nutrition and the Tri-Fit program. They also receive weekly e-mails regarding exercise and nutrition tips, and recipes. Throughout the "Fight the Fat" course, cardio workouts like spinning, yoga and aerobics will be offered once every two weeks free of charge.
More than 30 people have already signed up for "Fight the Fat." Students and faculty can sign up individually, or as teams. Prizes will be awarded based on percentage of body weight lost and inches lost.
For information regarding any of the programs, testing or class schedules at the Wellness Center, students and faculty can either call Gerlach at 688-5386, or stop into Wellness Center HPER room 119 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
