Fitness and Wellness

Shape is vital to art and sculpture. It’s also vital to the artist. Getting in shape and staying in shape are what we actively pursue in the Fitness and Wellness Program. Our facility, housed in the Student Life Activity Center, is dedicated to bringing the benefits—physically, artistically and emotionally—to the IAIA curriculum.

The relationship between physical health, emotional well being, and spiritual awareness is well known—and that is our focus. Physical health is a necessity for success.

It’s time to get moving. Fitness Center activities and classes will help you achieve a healthier lifestyle, including physical activity, nutrition, meditation, and movement.

The Fitness Training Center offers exercise equipment, classes, and open hours that provide all students, faculty and staff with an on-campus facility to get in shape and stay in shape. Classes include conditioning, yoga, weight-training, archery, Zumba™, indoor cycling, disc golf, and cross-country running. The schedule changes semester by semester—so be sure to check the current schedule to find your favorite activity, or to try something new.
