VOXPOP: Workout Central
By VoxPop Staff Writer Stefanie Juul, VoxPop Body + Life Magazine
You’ve got a couple of hours before your next class. Too much time to just check email and too little time to bother going home for a nap. The computers are all taken, and you’re too overwhelmed with required reading to want to go to the library. What’s left to do?
The Aquatic and Fitness Center may be your best bet. Only a short walk from the Johnson Center, the gym holds several opportunities for students and staff to improve, strengthen, and revive their mind, body, and spirit.
