About the Health & Fitness Center

Since opening our doors in 1966, Washtenaw Community College has offered members of this community exceptional academic and occupational programs designed to meet their needs. Through the years we have continuously evolved our programs and services to keep pace with the culture in which we live and work. Our goal is to help our students acquire a complete array of physical, intellectual and social skills they can use to become healthy and productive citizens.

Healthy lifestyle and productivity

There is no doubt that daily lifestyle practices exert a profound impact on short- and long-term health and quality of life. Moreover, recent data proves that there is a direct correlation between health and productivity: high levels of stress, excessive body weight, and health risk factors such as smoking, poor diet and substance abuse are associated with illness-related absenteeism and increased health care costs.

Our mission

The mission of the Health & Fitness Center is to create a healthy environment that engages students, staff and community members in the pursuit of health and physical fitness. With a facility such as this, the emphasis is on enjoying exercise for its own sake and learning fitness habits for life.
