WCC Offers Health and Fitness Experience Class for Summer Semester
For students looking to stay fit and earn credit over the summer, Washtenaw Community College (WCC) is offering the PEA 115: Health and Fitness Experience class. The course, which runs from May 6 to August 22, provides students with the opportunity to set physical goals and work towards achieving them at the Health & Fitness Center on campus.
Led by Dr. Kiela Samuels, a professional pharmacist, educator, and entrepreneur, the class features support from trainers who create personalized fitness plans and teachers who provide motivation and guidance throughout the semester. Students, who must be 18 years or older and enrolled in a minimum of three credit hours, are required to document their workouts on Blackboard and take quizzes to track their progress.
Dr. Samuels emphasizes the importance of regular exercise and aims to encourage students to visit the fitness center at least 15 times during the semester. To keep students engaged, she offers the chance to win a free guest pass for those who stay committed to their academic work.
Previous students like Wayne Brown III have praised the class for its positive impact on their physical and mental well-being. Brown shared that regular exercise helped him reduce stress, feel better, and maintain mental stability.
Overall, the Health and Fitness Experience class at WCC not only provides students with the opportunity to earn credit but also promotes the benefits of regular exercise, including weight management, stronger bones and muscles, and increased longevity. With a focus on developing healthy habits, the course offers a valuable experience for students looking to prioritize their health and fitness goals.
