The six week workout regime, known as the Fitness Pentathlon, began Monday as a fitness-incentive program for students.

Upon registration at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center, which comes at no fee to students, each participant in the pentathlon will receive a pentathlon card. Stickers are placed on the card upon completion of each activity pictured on the card. Participants may only earn one sticker per day, according to Pentathlon Organizer Steve Brown.

Thirty minutes is required [to earn a sticker] for each activity, Brown said.

The pentathlon card includes various fitness activities, which are available at the SRWC, such as cardio workouts, strength workouts, group exercise classes and the climbing wall. Swimming at Albee Hall and Pool is also necessary to complete the weekly requirements on the pentathlon card.

[The SRWC tries] to offer a variety [of classes] to appeal to different interests, Kelly Beisenstein-Weiss, coordinator of group exercise at the SRWC, said.

For every week of the pentathlon that a student completes all five activities pictured on their pentathlon card, the student is entered into a raffle for various prizes. Prizes include water bottles, T-shirts, backpacks and more. If a student earns five stickers every week for the duration of the pentathlon, they earn two additional entries into the prize raffle.

Its a way to promote different offerings within the [SRWC] facility, Brown said. We try to offer various fitness-incentive programs throughout the semester. It helps students form a habit of exercising.

The social interaction that comes from working out in a group also helps people stay motivated to work out, according to Beisenstein-Weiss.

Some people like that there are other people there to support them, Beisenstein-Weiss said. Group classes are for people of all fitness levels. I could work with my mom and an elite athlete in the same class, and they would both get a good workout.

Rock climbing at the SRWC is another weekly requirement of the Fitness Pentathlon. The climbing wall is considered part of the Xpeditions portion of the SRWC.
