What You'll Learn

Testimonials
"I have been a staff member of UNM for over 28 years and this class has changed my life. Before I committed myself to this program, I was just another frustrated sedentary person who spent all day behind a computer screen.
Now, I am full of energy and creativity, thanks to changing things like my diet, exercise and lifestyle. I may be getting older but thanks to this class, I'm actually getting better!
I start off the morning by visiting "The Club," doing my exercises and spending some time in the steam room and hot tub. I also attend a one-hour yoga class twice a week and I work with a trainer who has helped cure a horrible case of plantar fasciitis and is helping correct my posture.
All the above is reinforced by an (optional) one-hour class that takes a hard look at things like nutrition, exercise and workouts among other things. I may be 66 years old but this class has probably added 20 years to my life and changed my entire outlook on health in general."

“Jessica, the course's instructor, is very thorough in her delivery. She ensured that students at all levels can benefit from each session. Plus, the Sports and Wellness clubs are the best gyms in town. They have a variety of high quality, comfortable to use machines/equipment, and the membership gives you the freedom to experience all they have to offer because you are allowed to visit any of their five locations on your schedule!”
