What is Lab Partners Fitness (LPF)?

- Connectedness
- Physical activity + academic success
- Positive behaviors and habits
- Adding movement into daily life
- Improved mental health
Lab Members will be matched with a partner who shares similar fitness interests.
A Volunteer Lead Partner will be matched with the pair based on availability, interests and prior injuries and exercise challenges.
The partners set the schedule and time to meet one-on-one or in a small group (1 Lead partner + 2 Member Participants) 1-2 times per week.
