Welcome to the M State Fitness Center!

My name is Kay Wilder, director of the M State Moorhead campus Fitness Center. I encourage you, as a college student, to pay attention and devote time to your personal wellness in order to enhance your academic success and wellbeing while at M State. 

I've been involved with the fitness industry since I was 20 years old, and I continue to do the work to stay on the leading edge of fitness. An educator at heart, I take great personal satisfaction in welcoming every M State student with sincerity and a genuine interest in their story, and in helping students achieve their goals.

Whether it is teaching someone how to walk on a treadmill for the first time, creating a healthy pantry for someone, or enhancing a workout program, it is my goal to increase the awareness and confidence of each person who walks through the doors of the Fitness Center. 

At the Fitness Center, you’ll experience:

  • Innovation
  • Positive energy
  • Encouragement on a daily basis 

To keep things fresh, the following are complimentary amenities:

  • A fitness consultation is a conversation designed to establish personal goals and discuss ways to accomplish those goals with new, innovative methods.
  • An equipment orientation answers those questions about what Fitness Center equipment is and does. This orientation creates confidence, comfort, and knowledge.
  • Personal training is available at no additional cost!
  • Group fitness classes are scheduled with students in mind. Because you may have never experienced a group class environment, group classes are taught at a beginner level to educate the fundamentals of each type of class to eradicate any intimidation or awkwardness. No worries!  Your emotions are understood and respected. Just remember: You’re not the only new person in the class – everyone needs to start somewhere!

I hold national certifications: health coach, personal trainer, sports nutrition specialist, orthopedic exercise specialist, and emergency medical responder.

It is my joy and pleasure to inspire others, using positive reinforcement, to express themselves and move their bodies freely and with confidence, without feeling anxiety, worry or stress. 

My motto about exercise: If it wasn’t fun, why would you want to do it?!

It’s time to activate your membership at the Fitness Center. See you there!
