The benefits of exercise can last a lifetime. Adelphi's Adult Fitness Program offers an innovative approach with individually tailored exercise programs, nutrition counseling, and recreational activities. Participants have use of recreation facilities and state of the art exercise equipment.
A team that includes exercise physiologists and staff members certified by the American College of Sports Medicine performs comprehensive fitness evaluations and develops individualized programs. Participants are motivated to achieve their fitness goals as they learn how to exercise properly, efficiently, and safely.
Memberships are available on a limited basis to University faculty, staff, students, and other adults in neighboring communities. All participants must be over the age of 18.
