Mission Statement

Our goal at the Sykes Student Union Fitness Center is to provide a safe, educational, and motivating environment, where the West Chester University community cannot only experience a positive lifelong approach to the six dimensions of wellness, physical, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, and environmental, but also begin to appreciate ways to challenge you in your wellness development. By providing incentive programs promoting cardiovascular health, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility, and services, such as exercise prescription, body fat composition, and blood pressure screening, we hope to re-educate and stimulate our patrons to pursue their wellness goals.
