Phoenix Fit is a fitness program designed to improve fitness and health via both aerobic and resistive exercise. It is supervised by Fac/Staff from the Exercise Science department and offered on Tuesdays and Thursday mornings between 6-8 am. You may drop in between those hours and stay as long as you want. Most days, the program takes place outside of the Koury Athletic Center on the Williamson Street side. In severe weather, we will work out inside with masks optional. Equipment is provided. If you have disease risk factors and are older than 50 or just starting to exercise for the first time or have a chronic disease, please make an appointment at the Wellness Center to be sure you can safely start the exercise program.
