PROGRAMS & SERVICES FOR FACULTY & STAFF MEMBERS

While the Leach Center is often packed with student users, the Leach Fitness & Wellness staff features programs and services specifically for our FSU faculty and staff members. Here are some of our offerings.

Capital Health Plan members may utilize the CHP Reimbursement Program for select Leach Center membership and program fees. Visit the CHP web site for complete details.

FROM START TO FITNESS

Participants train two times a week in a small group setting with a Nationally Certified Personal Trainer.  The Personal Trainer is that group’s leader against other “From Start to Fitness” teams.  At the beginning of the program, participants will pick goals out of the 5 components of fitness to be measured, evaluated, and scored throughout the program.  The team who excels in meeting their goals and has the most participation is the official “From Start to Fitness Champion.”

If you need some motivation and direction in your workouts, join us in our newest faculty and staff program and competition, From Start to Fitness. 

Program Details
The 10-week program includes:
* 2 group workouts each week
* 1 individual workout pass per week
* 10 weeks of motivation, fitness, & fun!

Because we are always looking for ways to improve, we've changed our procedure.  To closely monitor attendance and proper pass usage, class passes will be given on a weekly basis.  If class size dwindles by the 5th week of the program, we will open up your spot to new participants.  Please be considerate of the instructors that are excited to teach you class by "sampling" all that the Leach Group Exercise Program has to offer!
