Workplace Wellness

The University of North Carolina at Asheville is committed to the development of a model workplace wellness program. To that end, we have established the Workplace Wellness Committee to help faculty and staff achieve a lifestyle that includes healthy eating, physical activity, tobacco cessation and stress management.

- Mission Statement 

The North Carolina Center for Health and Wellness, in collaboration with the Office of Academic Affairs and the Office of Human Resources, is proud to host UNC Asheville's Workplace Wellness Program.

The Workplace Wellness Program and Campus Recreation are happy to announce the following Faculty & Staff summer fitness schedule. No registration required; drop in and join a class!

Exercise Programs:

Total Fitness with Denise, Tuesdays (March 13th-April 17th), SHE 351 5:30-6:30pm

This 60-minute class will incorporate a variety of fitness training exercises beginning in the Group Fitness Room and branching out into the facility to utilize the track, pool and fitness room. This is a great opportunity for first time users of these Campus Recreation facilities to learn aerobic and anaerobic exercises.

Zumba with Rachel, Thursdays (March 15th - April 19th), SRC Studio 213 5:30-6:30 pm

This 60-minute class is a fusion of Latin and international dance themes that create a dynamic, exciting and effective fitness system! The routines feature aerobic/fitness interval training with a combination of fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body. Zumba utilizes the principles of fitness interval training and resistance training to maximize caloric output, fat burning and total body toning. It is a mixture of body sculpting movements with easy to follow dance steps.

Faculty/Staff group fitness courses are brought to you by the Workplace Wellness Program and Campus Recreation.
