Incentive Program

Let us help you start the road to a healthy lifestyle. Campus Recreation offers an incentive program each semester for students, faculty, and staff. The program encourages participants to exercise and eat healthy by setting goals and working together to achieve those goals. It's a fun way to get a little competition into your work out. Every workout, such as doing an elliptical or riding a bike, is assigned a mile value. You can participate as an individual or with a partner. At the same time you are competing against all other participants in the program. Prizes for achieving your goals are distributed throughout the program.
