Husky Physical Activity and Wellness
Personalized Fitness Support for Every Husky
St. Cloud State University's Exercise is Medicine On Campus initiative recognizes the many benefits of exercise, including its positive effects on mental and physical health. The Husky Physical Activity and Wellness center (Husky PAW) aims to make physical activity accessible for all students, faculty, and staff by matching enrolled individuals with a trained fitness professional to create a personalized exercise plan.
When working with our staff, you will participate in a free individualized exercise program consisting of:
- An orientation session to assess your current physical fitness status.
- One-on-one personal training sessions with a fitness professional, designed to specifically target your established goals and meet your unique physical needs.
- Educational sessions aimed at promoting a physically active lifestyle and helping you transition from Husky PAW to campus recreation.
Whether you're engaging in physical activity for the first time, redefining what a healthy relationship with exercise looks like, using physical activity to improve your mental health, or simply want to make new connections on campus, the Husky PAW program is here to help you thrive!
