You have you been sitting at your desk for 4 hours straight. Shoulders feel stiff, mind is fuzzy, you are feeling completely drained! Step away from that desk and head over to the Fitness Centre! UFV employees are lucky to have an on-site facility that enables them to get their workout in during their lunch hour, before the start of the workday, or at the end. With a variety of equipment available for employees to choose from – treadmills, elliptical machines, stationary bikes, a rowing machine, squat rack, bench press, mats, free weights, Bosu ball – you can complete a full cardio or strength training workout; you choose! Not only does this centre provide employees with a great space to work out, it is completely affordable! At the rate of only $40 per semester, you can’t lose (except pounds if that’s your goal)!
Spending hours sitting at a desk, I have found it so important to my physical and mental health to make sure I get up and move. At the end of the workday I would feel much too exhausted to workout. So I take advantage of the fitness centre which allows me to get my workout done during my lunch break! Plus, I find that I return to my desk fully re-charged and ready to face the rest of the day! I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity, one that most employees could only wish to have available to them on their work-site premises. Visit the UFV Fitness Centre today!
