RecWell Stories
Ali Herring
"Participating in RecWell has benefited me in several ways. All throughout my high school career I played sports and not having that in college came as a struggle for me. I wanted to find a program or service that would help me stay physically active and help me achieve my athletic goals and this program did just that! This program also helped me meet new people. The activities I take part in are Intramural sports and group exercise. I enjoy both of these programs!
I participate in Recreation and Wellness programs because I love to run, bike and exercise in general. With the services and events that Grand Valley holds, I am able to expand my physical ability whether that's trying something completely out of my comfort zone like rock climbing or just hitting the gym working on cardio and completing my own exercises. I enjoy going to these events because it is an amazing way to meet people. I have met some amazing people through GVSU's programs and we plan to go to group exercises or rock climbing together (I still need to try it) and it's a great way to spend time with people!
My involvement in Recreation and Wellness has greatly impacted my experience at GVSU. Not only has it helped me physically but also mentally. I love to go to the gym to get in shape but I also enjoy going as a mental break from school and when life gets overwhelming sometimes. The gym is a great way for me to escape for a little and it's a healthy way too!"
