Introduction to Science-Based Fitness

If there was an exercise program that could give you results in just one workout per week, would you be interested in learning about it? If so, you are in luck! Certified Personal Trainer Steve Grogan is offering a course to teach you about Science-Based Fitness, an exercise program unlike anything you’ve seen. Each session is a mixture of a lecture and workout, where you’ll learn how this system can help you lose fat and build muscle at the same time with no warmup or cool down, no stretching routine, and best of all, no need to split your attention between strength training on one day and cardio on another. Students should bring an exercise mat, two five-pound dumbbells, and two 10-pound dumbbells. Two three-pound and two eight-pound dumbbells are also optional.

Course will be held in McDonough Sports Complex, Room 192
