Employee Health Promotion Program and Recreational Services Partner to Bring Fitness Classes to UNM Faculty and Staff

This fall, UNM's Recreational Services will begin administering fitness classes for UNM’s faculty and staff. This will allow the Division of Human Resources’ Employee Health Promotion Program (EHPP) to focus more outreach to various departments and branch campuses, promoting the benefits of physical activity. EHPP will continue to advocate for faculty and staff by working with Recreational Services to ensure that fitness classes address their unique needs.

“Collaborating with our internal and external health partners affiliated with UNM creates a win-win situation that ultimately allows us to increase our scope of services”, says Mary Jo Quintana, EHPP’s Sr. Program Manager. “While avoiding duplication of efforts, we focus on what each department does best to create an impact of increasing physical activity.”

EHPP has adopted E-fitness as the new name for fitness classes for easier identification. To find more information, including the current E-fitness schedule, registration process, cost, and tuition remission options, please go to Recreational Services Fitness.

Any questions pertaining to E-fitness including registration, instructors, class venue, and/or scheduling may be referred to Samantha Fernandez, Recreational Services Fitness coordinator. Fernandez is located in rm. 1102 at Johnson Center. She can also be reached at 277-0178 or via e-mail at: sam47@unm.edu.
