The Wellness Center Staff provides fitness services to eligible employees, spouses, and retirees in the Employee Fitness Center (EFC). Employees and retirees who receive Wellness Dollars may use them to purchase these services. Spouses may use cash or a check payable to the University of Delaware.

Types of fitness services:

• Orientation - A brief orientation to the EFC and a signed waiver is REQUIRED of all users. In the orientation, an EFC staff person will review available equipment, guidelines for use, and safety regulations. This session will take about 10 minutes. COST: FREE
• Personal Exercise Plan (PEP) - Whether you are beginning an exercise program or just tired of doing the same thing, our staff will work with you to develop a workout or training program based on your goals and interests. During this 45-minute appointment a trainer will discuss your fitness goals and teach you how to do a series of recommended exercises. Plans can be developed for your use in the Employee Fitness Center, at an off-campus gym or at home. You will receive a workout card which outlines your plan which you may leave in the EFC for your reference, or take it with you for your workouts elsewhere. COST 15 WELLNESS DOLLARS
• Personal Training - This package includes a Personal Exercise Plan plus two additional 45-minute training sessions. You will schedule your additional sessions after your intial meeting, based on your goals and how you would like to use your time with your trainer. See what a difference our personal attention will make in your progress! COST: 35 WELLNESS DOLLARS
• Fitness Assessment - Test your fitness against national norms for your gender and age. Use this objective measure of your fitness to plan your program or assess your progress. The following tests are offered: height, weight, body composition (using skinfold calipers), aerobic fitness (3-minute step test), muscle fitness (push-ups and abdominal crunches), and joint flexibility (site and reach test).
  COST : Initial Assessment -- 15 WELLNESS DOLLARS
  COST: Initial Assessment +3 month follow-up assessment -- 25 WELLNESS DOLLARS
• Body Composition - The scales don't tell the whole story when it comes to a healthy body weight. Using skinfold calipers, our staff will measure three different sites and give you an estimated percent body fat. This number will be used to help you track your progress as you manage your eating and exercise habits to acheive a leaner, healthier body. The test takes about 5 minutes and you will receive your results immediately. COST: 5 WELLNESS DOLLARS
