Virtual Fitness Consultations

With so much uncertainty going on around us it is easy to become overwhelmed and need some extra guidance in our lives right now. With the SRC and all other gyms closed at this time we have to get creative in finding ways to be active and get some exercise as an outlet for our stress and maintaining our fitness. This is where the SRC Fitness Staff can help. Beginning Monday, April 6th we will be offering Virtual Fitness Consultations Monday through Friday from 10 AM – 3 PM. These 1-on-1 sessions would take about 15 minutes and would offer tips/ ideas of how to incorporate exercise into your day with what you have in your home. To schedule an appointment simply go to our web page and click here and send an e-mail to Debby Woodall with your requested date and time.
