With the reopening of schools and important businesses in the wake of widespread COVD-19 vaccination across the state and nation this year, Gyms are back as well, including the University’s Randall Lewis Center for Well-Being and Research main floor workout room.
Athletes are also training in person and enjoying socializing while working out, all while complying with the University’s mask and vaccination mandates.
With most gyms and campus athletic facilities shuttered due to the coronavirus and stay-at-home orders, athletes and students serious about fitness have had to find ways to stay in shape in spite of the shutdowns.
The Randall Lewis Center for Well-Being and Research is offering a needed outlet for students to distract themselves and mitigate stress. One such outlet is virtual yoga offered online several times a week to University students and employees.
