The FSWP offers free fitness assessments and free one-on-one wellness consultations. The FSWP also offers a comprehensive lunchtime wellness program that has many different class options to get people moving during lunchtime. Classes range from bootcamp classes, to yoga, to meditation and everything in-between. Classes are low-cost to employees. The FSWP average cost of a 2 day per week class is roughly $50 per quarter, and the program enrolls hundreds of employees each quarter. Courses are offered for as low as $15 per term. In addition, Wade King Recreation Center memberships are subsidized by Western. Additionally, a quarterly membership is available for current WWU faculty and staff which includes access to the Student Recreation Center from Monday through Friday 6am-1pm (6:30am-1pm during summer quarter) and all hours on weekends. As part of the program the $60 membership rate will be reduced to $30 thanks to a $30 University match.
