Mission
The mission of Fitness Services is to provide the K-State campus community with health and fitness programming that promotes physical activity, healthy nutrition, and overall wellness. Services available to K-State students and facility card holders include group fitness sessions, individual personal training and nutrition consultations, and educational outreach presentations/workshops.
All students and facility members have the option to use Recreational Services' facilities on their own or as part of an organized program. Personal trainers provide one-on-one exercise and nutrition planning, while Wildcat Workouts offer a wide variety of both land and water group fitness classes. First aid care and injury evaluation services are also available through the Athletic Training Services/Sports Medicine Program.
