Fitness Testing and Prescription Lottery

Fitness - Non-Water | Registration opens 1/8/2025 9:00 AM EST

This "registration" is to sign up for the chance to take this class. Due to the unique nature of the class, there are very limited spots. If you have taken this course previously, you will be put on the list after any new attendees. The random participants will be chosen the week of February 10. Everyone will be notified of their registration status by February 19.

This course will introduce participants to the basics of fitness training with free weights and cable resistance
machines, aerobic and other equipment. Junior and senior level Exercise Science students enrolled in Fitness Testing
and Exercise Prescription will serve as “personal trainers” to Lifelong Learning members. Students will be supervised
by their instructor while working with ALL members. The students will conduct fitness assessments and develop an
individualized exercise prescription based on the results of the testing, along with members’ physical activity and
medical history. ALL members should be in relatively good health and must complete a Pre-participation Screening
prior to their first session with students. Any medical clearance from their personal physician should also be
completed if necessary.

Although we know that life can get in the way, this class is part of a student project, and we ask that you commit
to regular attendance when enrolling in this ALL course. If you know going in you will miss more than one class,
please do not register at this time for this course.

This is a general level fitness class.

This course will meet for 6 weeks and will meet on March 26, April 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30.
