Wellness Wednesday — The Center for Healthy Living

If you talk wellness on this campus, you almost have to mention the Center for Healthy Living.

From free weights and fitness classes to rec league softball and table tennis, the CFHL is the one-stop shop for wellness activities on the UNMC campus.

The center features basketball courts, an indoor walking track, a fitness area and several other features all at a cost that’s competitive with other area fitness centers.

“This really is the place for health and wellness on campus,” said Jayme Nekuda, director of the UNMC Employee Benefits and Worklife Programs Division of Human Resources and UNMC’s wellness manager. “With a membership, employees have access to all of our services.”

And while the center does have much of the fitness-related features found at many health clubs, it also has some lighter fare such as a lending library, a meditation room, a ping-pong table and badminton nets.

The CFHL also is the campus hub for intramural sports.

“Healthy living goes way beyond physical fitness,” Nekuda said. “We make it a point here to provide a whole scope of wellness activities to our members.”

Those interested in joining the CFHL couldn’t pick a better time than now.
