As colder weather approaches London, Ont., students may want to start moving outdoor fitness routines to indoor workouts and programs.
But many students don’t know that they have access to a slew of free campus fitness activities, from dance classes to a golf simulator, as part of their student Fanshawe student card, said the school’s wellness director.
“We have a fitness centre with cardio equipment, free weights and machines, group fitness classes … yoga and spin. We have dance, a golf simulator and a rock wall,” said Tabitha Liston, fitness and wellness program director, describes the fitness opportunities available for students.
Lesson for golf simulator, rock wall and other activities are also available at no extra cost, she said.
