For more information visit Walk UCSD Here is what some UCSD employees have experienced as participants in the FitWell Program: “Just a word of sincere gratitude for the much-needed and beneficial FitWell program that your department has instituted for Facilities Management staff. Several members of Landscape Services, including myself, have participated and are now reaping the benefits of this exercise regimen. I am certain that it will help many more as it continues. The instructors who lead, guide and motivate our staff at each session have been outstanding in keeping the level of participation and interest very high. They are a big part of the reason why the program has been successful. On behalf of the Landscape Staff, thank you very much.” Alonso Noble Facilities Management “Fitwell motivated our area to get more exercise and embark on a path to wellness. We have continued this path with a yoga class and subsequently we are all feeling better for having participated in Fitwell. We also got to know people in our area that we do not work with on a daily basis, and we discovered that we have a common bond – a desire to get fit.” Carrie Banks Spillane Corporate Secretary/Board Operations Manager University of California, San Diego For more information contact Fitwell Coordinator, Jonna Haupu, at jhaupu@ucsd.edu
