Wildcat Wellness
The Wildcat Wellness program works to increase awareness of healthy lifestyle behaviors and to provide convenient and attractive opportunities for the Davidson community to practice them.
In an effort to maximize participation, the program provides a wide array of fitness and wellness opportunities year-round, including fitness classes, lectures, health screenings, and special events.
Wildcat Wellness class instructors will carefully guide you through fun, safe, and effective workouts, appropriate for all fitness levels.
Davidson's Wildcat Wellness classes are great ways to bond with colleagues across campus while improving your personal fitness.
Wildcat Wellness classes, like this early morning 'bootcamp,' are offered at different times and in various locations around campus.
