Fun and Fitness: Get acquainted with J
Welcome back, returning Fanshawe Students and a big warm welcome to all of you who are coming here for the first time. Summer holidays are long gone and hopefully all of you took advantage of the few sunny weeks we managed to get in August. Now its time for another kick ass school year including a little fitness I assume?
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 you 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. This is where you'll find all information regarding fitness memberships, aerobics classes, personal training, squash courts and gymnasium usage. As you continue down the hallway past the squash courts, you will see another desk that 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 as to 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. With all the renovations and improvements being put into Fanshawe, it's a great idea to walk around and get familiar with it all. Jennifer Lees is our full time Customer Service Representative whom you will see regularly. Feel free to ask her any questions you may have since she's 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!
