Mission Statement

The NCC Wellness Center is a state-of-the-art fitness facility that is committed to improving the general well being of all patrons. We encourage safe and effective exercise in an effort to improve one's quality of life.



Services

Equipment Orientation

This service is recommended for those that have little experience using fitness equipment. A trained staff member will introduce you to our cardio and resistance equipment and review the proper use of it. Appropriate form and technique will also be taught.


Fitness Assessment

This service entails the administration of physical testing to assess one's cardiovascular and muscular fitness as well as flexibility. Once data is collected an individual's strengths and weaknesses can be identified as compared to normative data. With individualized assessment, an exercise protocol can be designed for your specific needs. All tests are safe and administered by certified professionals.


Exercise Prescription

A safe and effective exercise protocol will be designed for you in order to obtain the maximal benefits of exercise. All patrons must complete a Fitness Assessment to receive this service. Once completed the individual will have three training sessions with an Exercise Science Student or Wellness Staff member to ensure that the protocol is understood and used appropriately.


Body Composition

This non-invasive, private screening includes skin fold measurements that can determine one's body fat percentage. The results of this test can assist with the prescription of weight loss.



Locker Rooms

The temporary facility will not have locker rooms. It is asked that personal belongings of value be left at home when using the facility. Small storage lockers are available for daily use and hooks to hang coats, bags, etc. will be located by the men's and women's bathrooms in the D-Wing. Towels or locks are not provided.
