Facility: Springfield Healthplex
Overview of Course:
The students are fully supervised as they work out on the
strength and fitness machines, for the first part of their
class. The instructors try to encourage them to increase the
time they train on the cardiovascular machines, and to increase
the weight they are able to lift on the strength machines. They
are taught the important safety procedures needed for these
machines.
The majority of the time is then spent learning to play, and
enjoying playing, several different sports, including:
*tennis (10 indoor courts)
*racquetball
*basketball
*volleyball
*golf
*swimming (full length indoor pool)
