Getting Active at Wheelock

You can get active in so many ways on the Wheelock Campus. You can take advantage of the Holmes Sports Center, sign up for yoga lessons or latin dance (see above), or participate in COF intramurals .

Or, we’re walking around the world for a second time, so start logging in your miles at http://walk.wheelock.edu. Remember that 20 minutes of walking equals a mile or 2000 steps, or invest in a pedometer!
