The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Health and Fitness Center

Introducing the Walking Challenge, our first member‑created initiative!

We’re kicking off September by celebrating movement and making our steps a priority. Track your mileage throughout the month and share it with us. The member with the most miles by September 30 will receive a merchandise prize from the front desk.

This challenge is open to all members and everyone is welcome to join in and get moving.

To celebrate Labor Day (9/7), we’ll be operating with adjusted hours so our staff and members can enjoy a well‑deserved holiday break. Wishing you a safe, restful Labor Day as we recognize and appreciate the hard work of our community.

Staff Appreciation Week wrapped up last week, and we loved celebrating our incredible team 🤗🤗

Throughout the week we enjoyed fitness challenges, plenty of yummy food, and even gathered mid‑week for our all‑staff Town Hall to reflect on the past year together. We also announced our new Staff Self‑Brag Wall, giving members and staff a place to share shoutouts for both the little moments and the big wins.

We’re grateful for each and every staff member who helps make OSU Health & Fitness Center feel like home 🤍

After the success of our single‑session Kimoodo workshop, we’re excited to bring you a full 4‑week series.

Kimoodo Therapeutic Wholistic Living offers a calming movement experience that helps you slow down, reconnect with your body, and build strength in a gentle, intentional way. This practice supports a clearer mind, steadier energy, and a more balanced approach to daily living. It’s especially meaningful for anyone looking to ease stress, move with purpose, and invest in long-term wellbeing.

Join us every Saturday, September 5–26 from 11:30 AM–12:30 PM in Studio 1 for this 4‑week specialty series.
