Fitness Center offers student discount rate for fall semester

The NMC Fitness Center offers a student discount rate of $60 for the 4 month term Fall term.  That is a 40% discount on the community rate.

Studies have shown that regular exercise for college students helps stimulates brain cell development, improves memory retention, increases focus and concentration, boosts mood, and relieves stress.  A 2013 Purdue University study found “students using the Recreational Sports Center at least 16 times a month earned a GPA of 3.10 or higher. The correlation between grades and gym use also is shown with moderate users. Students who used the gym at least seven times a month had an average GPA of 3.06.”

The NMC Fitness Center offers a 4-month student membership for $60 or students can purchase a $15 monthly pass. Contact the Fitness Center at 995-1739 or stop by room 206, Rajkovich Building (Physical Education) for assistance on becoming a member. Click here for more info!
