The weight room is open for training Monday through Friday:
- 7-9 a.m.

Student personal trainers will develop and guide clients through an exercise routine designed to help meet their goals. Participants will be required to complete a health history questionnaire before beginning
Before and after data will compare weight, body mass index and resting heart rate and blood pressure, as well as appropriate performance measures (e.g. speed, power, strength). Clients who have made the most significant improvement across all measures will be awarded prizes (as will their personal trainers)
