Kate\nMislivecek, the Group Fitness Student Manager and Instructor for Yoga, Core, Below the Belt,\nCycling, Triple Threat, PiYo, and Anything Goes says in a video interview for\ngroup fitness that \u201ccoming to group fitness classes or programs is a super fun\nway to work out and meet new people to build relations and make awesome\nmemories.\u201d Kate has worked for Warhawk Fitness for 9 semesters and has met a\nton of individuals who have become lifelong friends of hers and people she has\nbuilt great connections with. Along with Kate, there are many other students\nand facility who consider their sport, workout team or coworkers more than\nindividuals or friends, but as family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many programs at\nUW-Whitewater that are not even a part of Warhawk Fitness consider their close\ncontacts to be more like family. In an article called \u201cFriends Are Like\nFamily\u201d, the author states \u201cJust as literal families, friends who are like\nfamily can bring not only happiness but also the family we choose. They are\nthere for us when we need them and not only like us but love us.\u201d It is\nimportant to surround yourself with friends who are more like family in any\nprogram, living arrangement, organization or work because of the love, support\nand comfort they bring in both good and bad times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to feel closeness to both friends and family because it can help individuals have a better and healthier well-being and mental state. My best piece of advice is to join jobs, organizations or programs to meet people who love and support you because they see you as family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
