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 for students:
- A complimentary fitness assessment will show long-time workout enthusiasts new, varied methods and modalities to shake up any workout routine.
- An equipment orientation is complimentary for those who are new to the path of personal wellness.
- Personal training is available at no additional cost!
- Group fitness classes are scheduled with students in mind. Because many M State students have never experienced a group class, a new class has been created and scheduled for fall semester 2022: Intro to Group Fitness. This class will gently introduce the fundamentals of each type of group class offered at M State, eradicating any intimidation or awkwardness because you'll learn what to expect. No worries! I understand your emotions and will watch over everyone to ensure a positive learning environment. 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!
