Fun and Fitness: Fanshawe does fitness
Welcome back, returning Fanshawe Students and a big warm welcome to all of you who are coming here for the first time.
My name is Rick Melo and I currently work in the Fanshawe College Community Fitness Centre as a Fitness Consultant and Members Services Representative. I'm a graduate of the Fitness and Health Promotion Program offered by Fanshawe, which means I'm quite familiar with the College now and will, as per usual, be answering many of your questions about how to get to random buildings around campus.
I'm looking forward to enlightening all of you about a broad range of fitness related topics. Throughout the course of the year I'll be writing weekly columns for the Interrobang. Some articles will educate you, while others will be completely useless personal rants of mine discussing current trends. Right now, I plan on making myself useful by making readers familiar with what the J Building has to offer.
As soon as you walk into the J Building, you'll notice the Fitness Centre desk, as well as Yours Truly. This is where you'll find all information regarding fitness memberships, aerobics classes, personal training, squash courts, massage therapy and gymnasium usage.
As you continue down the hallway past the squash courts, you will see another desk, which happens to be the Athletic Department. The Athletic Department serves all needs regarding Varsity Sports, Intramurals, equipment rentals and athletic related part-time jobs offered to all students. Even further down the hallway, into the Student Centre Building, you will find the pharmacy, as well as the Fowler Kennedy Sports Medicine Clinic. So if you're feeling kind of wonky (hangovers don't count) for any reason at all, be sure to check into Fowler Kennedy to see what they have to offer.
Obviously, there's much more involved with the J Building then what is readily available to you. This is where you take it upon yourself to stroll through J building and see first hand what may be of interest. I'm the first person you'll see when you come in and the last person you'll see when you leave. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have since I'm familiar with many of the departments around here, as well as the Fitness Centre.
Surprisingly enough, many students aren't even aware of the J Building and Fitness Centre until they have to write an exam in the gymnasium at the end of the semester. Many of these students may not have the need for any fitness related activities, but it helps to know we exist for when the need arises. You can even check out our websites at http://www.fanshawec.ca/fitness and http://www.fanshawec.ca/athletics for more information. You've been officially introduced to how Fanshawe does fitness. No excuses, you now know where to find us.
