We are excited to begin hosting weekly one hour fitness sessions to provide you the opportunity to engage in workouts led by professional fitness instructors conveniently located on campus! You can attend one or more sessions based upon your availability. Each fitness session can only accommodate up to 20 students.

Equipment 

Student activities will provide you with the equipment you need for the fitness session(s) you signed up for. Equipment sign-out will take place at 202 Landing (windows located at the 202 Student Activities suite) 45 minutes prior to the beginning of the session. Equipment must be returned within 30 minutes at the conclusion of the fitness session at 202 Landing.

A student activities ambassador will sign-out equipment and verify you are registered to attend the fitness session.

Waitlist

There are only 20 spots available per fitness session. After the 20 spots are reserved, you can elect to be placed on a waitlist. If you are on the waitlist you are directed to wait in the 202 suite and will be able to attend if there is a no-show. Waitlist will be considered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Upon your arrival in the 202 suite let the ambassador know you are on the waitlist to record your order of arrival.

Fitness Instructor Bio - Chris Wood

Every client I take on is a new opportunity for me to improve a lifestyle that will benefit that individual for the rest of their life.I struggled with weight issues most of my life but decided to stay consistently on track to keep the weight off and devote my life to fitness in 2011.

I have been training since 2014. In 2017 I attended the National Personal Training Institute (NPTI) where I received a certificate of exercise science.

I’m thrilled to be a part of the team at Beyond Fitness and looking forward to helping you reach your fitness goals!

Description

A high-energy workout that builds strength and burns fat using only your body weight. No equipment needed, just sweat, power, and results.

Held: Tuesdays 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM, 253 Schreiber Reading Room

Fitness Instructor Bio - Jordan Husar

Year Certified: 2019

I have previously competed in powerlifting and love all barbell movements. I prefer Muay Thai for cardio over running. A perfect day for me would be exploring outdoors with my fiancé, cameras, and a flat white latte. I have recently moved to the area so I am open to any recommendations!

I’ve seen firsthand how strength training and living a healthy lifestyle transforms not just the body, but the mind. It's so much more than just physical appearance—it's about building resilience, improving mental clarity, and unlocking the power within.
