Exercise Referral Program
In collaboration with POWER, TRACS, UK Counseling Center and UHS, current students can facilitate a self-referral to meet with a UK Campus Recreation Fitness professional to discuss their needs and program options.
How it works...
Students enrolled in the ERP program work with a Certified Personal Trainer with the goal of learning how to incorporate physical activity and exercise into their daily lifestyle. If you are a UK student that would benefit from physical activity, click the button below to get started!
Available Options: Fitness Assessment, Facility Equipment Orientation, Basic Exercise Program Design, 5-Private Training Sessions led by Certified Personal Trainer, and 10-Private Training Sessions led by a Certified Personal Trainer.
By the end of the ERP program, the goal is for each participant to meet ACSM/CDC/ US Department of Health recommendations for weekly Physical Activity for Adults.
ACSM Physical Activity Guidelines include:
- At least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity Aerobic Exercise weekly or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity, or an equivalent combination of moderate/vigorous aerobic activity.
- Conduct at least moderately intense muscle-strengthening activities that include all major muscle groups, two or more days a week.
