CAHNRS Faculty/Staff Evening Fitness classes are held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at Ensminger Pavilion or at Hulbert 27 when the pavilion has been booked for a university function.
Held since 2015, the classes are taught by CAHNRS staff member Robert Yarbrough, a certified group fitness and Tai Chi instructor, and is approved by the WSU Registrar’s Office, the WSU Office of Risk Management, and the Attorney General’s Office.
All staff, faculty, and students are welcome and drop-ins are encouraged. Classes are free to attend. The Faculty/Staff Evening Fitness benefits those who spend most of their day sitting, or who suffer from mobility issues, who would like basic movement exercise options without the need to attend a fitness class at University Recreation or a gym.
A low-impact/low-cardio dance exercise, Zumba Gold, is held every Tuesday and Thursday. Routines, including swing, salsa, cha-cha, tango, rock & roll, pop, bellydance, and folk movements, are easy to follow and designed for older populations.
A meditative movement class, Tai Chi, for both beginners and intermediate level, is held on Wednesdays. This class is aimed at those who wish to maintain and regain energy and balance, lower their blood pressure, or just feel better.
