Abstract
This project focuses on promoting student wellness through recreational programming at the Gassett Fitness Center at Salem State University. The goal was to increase engagement in wellness activities and raise awareness of the connection between physical activity and health & wellness in college aged students. Data was collected through participation tracking, including gym usage, group exercise attendance, and event turnout. Results showed consistent engagement with high facility usage and strong participation in events like the BitBar Buy-Out and Glowga. These findings convey that accessible and well promoted programs can positively impact student involvement. Overall this project highlights the importance of campus recreation in supporting student health, reducing stress, and building a stronger sense of community.
