            Club sports are a great way for students like ourselves to stay active. It is common for some students be less active while in college. Joining a club sport can help students stay motivated, get a nice workout in, and participate in an activity that you and others enjoy. Being active can really benefit your help so by participating in something that you enjoy doing, it won’t feel as much as a workout, but rather than a fun experience. Joining a club sport can bring more then just a personal wellness or physical activity benefits, but help individuals grow personally and socially. Students can meet more people, build relationships and friendships, and build some skills with working with a team to apply in their professional and personal life. If you don’t see a club you are interested in or have something else you want, you can let Warhawk fitness know, they want you to have an awesome experience. Even if you aren’t the best at the sport, but love playing, you should continue to try and grow as a student, person, athlete and individual. Continue to work on your health and stay active while also participating in something you love and or passionate about!
