Make a healthy start to the new year

If the holidays were tough on your fitness and nutrition routine, now is the time to get back on track.

Drake Recreational Services offers employees body composition analysis, fitness assessments, and personal training sessions. Body composition analysis breaks down the percentage of fat, bone, water, and muscle in your body and what that means when determining certain health risk factors. A fitness assessment is designed to evaluate your health and fitness. It provides baseline measurements of your current endurance, strength, flexibility, and coordination. Employees may also register for personal training sessions where a customized exercise program will be designed for you. For pricing information or to schedule an appointment, send an email to wellness@drake.edu.

Drake employees may also schedule an appointment with Sodexo campus dietitian Lucas Flaherty at lucas.flaherty@drake.edu. His services include 1-on-1 dietary consultation, allergy management, disease management, and meal ideas/recipe guidance.
