It is the mission of the Wellness Center to promote a collaborative approach to personal and
community health. We encourage the health and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff through
a variety of educational programs and services to the Spelman community. These programs facilitate
and support the personal growth and development of our students in multiple dimensions of health:
physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and environmental. Health analysis and fitness assessment are
done in one-hour appointments; they analyze current fitness habits and create goals and plans to
achieve a healthy lifestyle as it pertains to weight loss or gain. Blood pressure, body composition, and
circumference measurements will be performed. Tests to evaluate your current level of fitness include
resting heart rate, blood pressure, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength/endurance, flexibility,
a three-minute step-up test and body composition evaluation.
Students enjoy a supportive and educational environment with access to state-of-the-art equipment,
fitness assessments, seminars on fitness and related subjects, and access to health materials. The
Wellness Center staff members are always on hand to monitor workouts and answer questions as
they have expertise in physical education, exercise physiology, and nutrition. The Wellness Center
offers a variety of exciting and upbeat specialty classes to the community. These classes are offered
on a first-come, first-serve basis as they are extremely popular in the Spelman community. Classes
that are taught include but are not limited to hip-hop aerobics, aqua Zumba, swim classes, boot camp,
hula fitness, Zumba, and Yo-Pi (a combination of yoga and Pilates), to name a few.
