The Faculty Staff Fitness (FSF) program enhances the individual health, fitness and well-being of Oregon State personnel. FSF was formed in the spring of 1984 with 10 activity classes enrolling 100 individuals. Today we average 30-40 classes serving over 800 faculty/staff, GTA's/GRA's, spouses/partners and retirees of the university each term.

No membership fees are collected. A modest class fee is all that is charged. Consider us a fringe benefit of your employment at the university!

Testimonial

I am writing to tell you how thankful I am for the Faculty & Staff Fitness program.

It has literally saved my life.

I was over 300 pounds when its director, Rochelle Schwab, came to the library as a keynote speaker at one of our in-service days. She convinced me that I could exercise and that any exercise would be better than none. Rochelle was also very supportive and encouraging after I joined the program and I credit her as being a big part of my successful weight loss.

I have lost 135 pounds and only have 25 to go to reach my ideal weight. I attend exercise classes at Langton five days a week now and I miss being able to go during the quarter breaks. I have added a before and after photo of myself. My after photo was taken just before I ran the Be Well 5K here on campus earlier this month. This program is so important to me that I want to be sure it is acknowledged for the wonder service it is to the faculty and staff. Thank you for your time.

Best Wishes,
Deborah Carroll
