Sports are the spice of life, and many times can be the catalyst that keeps your fitness program alive and well. Although we don't recommend any of the sports offered at FAC as a way to "get in shape", they have been shown to be an effective way to help maintain a level of fitness after it has been reached. They are also a great way to supplement your fitness program and inject it with a little fun, and relieve stress.

In short, we recommend not that you "play the sport to get in shape", rather that you "get in shape to play the sport". For help with this, or how a cross-training effect can be achieved with your sport, please see one of our Fitness Professionals.
