Student Summer Lifting Series

Get stronger this summer without living in the gym!

Getting stronger does not require hours in the gym. With thoughtful programming, you can get a quality session done in 30-45 minutes. This summer, the Center for Healthy Living is offering a Summer Lifting Series for students. This 6‑week, twice‑per‑week program breaks strength training down into a simple, focused, and doable plan. The program starts Monday, June 22.  

Each week spotlights one foundational movement such as a squat, hinge, push, pull, lunge, or carry. You are not just working out; you are learning how to move better. Training is purposeful, efficient and approachable for all experience levels. 

  • Day 1: The foundational movement will be paired with a few accessory exercises. You’ll learn proper technique by watching a posted video. 
  • Day 2: This day will be total body and focus on work capacity, lifting with conditioning. These workouts can be done in the lower level CFHL gym/activity courts using equipment found there. 

Workouts along with demonstration videos going over movement form and technique will be posted weekly, so you can get the training done on your schedule. 

Trainer Kim Rohloff will be available in-person at the Center for Healthy Living for questions or help during the following days/times: 

  • Mondays: 2-5 p.m.
  • Tuesdays: 6-6:45 a.m. and 8-10 a.m.
  • Wednesdays: 3-5 p.m.
  • Thursdays: 6-6:45 a.m. and 8-10 a.m.
  • Fridays: 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
