Welcome to the Employee Wellness Program

The Employee Wellness Program (EWP) aims to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices. This program provides CSUF faculty and staff with the opportunity to participate in a variety of exercise classes. The Department of Kinesiology operates the EWP.

The primary goals of the Employee Wellness Program are to: 1) promote physical activity, healthy lifestyle behaviors and wellness among CSUF employees and broader community; and 2) provide training in fitness assessment, exercise programing, interpersonal skills, and leadership behaviors for students in kinesiology and health-related fields.

The Employee Wellness Program started in the Spring 2004 semester, led by Emeritus faculty Dr. Bill Beam, and continues to be an opportunity for faculty, staff, and students to engage in physical activity or exercise, healthy lifestyle behaviors and wellness.

Currently we are offering three different programs:

• Open Gym Exercise Sessions:  In this program, you can perform your own strength and aerobic routines or join the provided exercise routine under the guidance of our EWP staff. As part of this program, you will receive a fitness assessment and personalized consulting to help you maximize your exercise.
• Yoga Classes:  Our yoga classes are instructor-led and are designed to instruct you on how to perform specific postures and breathing methods to improve your strength, balance, flexibility, body awareness, focus and relaxation.
• Physical Activity Partners:  As part of this program, we will help you maximize your motivation for physical activity. We will conduct a fitness assessment and then provide a personalized consultation to help you set goals and develop a physical activity plan that will work for you. Throughout the semester, we will partner with you to help keep you accountable to your goals.
