Employee fitness program
Over 70 employees participated in our physical activity-tracking program this fall. Due to the strong feedback we received, we are organizing a similar program during the spring semester. The program will be called “Falcon Employee Fitness” and will run for 10 weeks beginning Feb. 5. Registration is now open even though activity recording won’t begin until Feb. 5. Participants who accumulate 1000 minutes of activity/exercise over the 10 weeks, and faithfully record their workouts, will receive a gift card. Exercise your way to greater health this spring. See the wellness website for details: http://www.messiah.edu/info/20897/wellness for details.
