Introduction
The importance of wellness centers cannot be emphasized adequately in the present-day world. The emergence of lifestyle diseases, as a result of improper feeding habits and reduced levels of physical fitness are pointers to the importance of these facilities. It should be noted that persons of all age groups are affected by these conditions, making it indispensable to make fitness facilities accessible to persons of all age groups. Studies have shown that frequents users of these facilities have reduced infection rates, hence a longer lifespan.
Discussion
As a result of the constraints of space, only basic equipment will be incorporated into this facility. Since the facility is aimed at ensuring patrons maintain high-fitness levels, prominence will be given to fitness and movement. This will also be beneficial since maintenance costs will be lowered considerably. It should be noted that trainers will advise patrons on the appropriate dieting practices, and the required water treatment that will complement the practice for satisfactory results.
The facility will have equipment that will enable patrons to exercise different areas of their bodies. Some of the areas that will be given prominence are cardiovascular and potency training, in addition, to the kinesis functional training. Vibration training will also be carried out, as well as exercising the Cadillac and reformers sites of the body. Lastly, a segment will be set aside to house the studios for the Agna and Mantra practices. Here, Yoga and Pilates will be carried out. A separate studio for aerobic training will also be established. It should be noted that this facility will aim to accommodate individual preference of the patrons, by using technology and time-tested exercises.
The centre will also work with the aim of realizing lower rates in the intake of alcohol and other drugs. This calls for the availability of trained counselors and medical practitioners to help in achieving this course. Most importantly, it will be a student driven process, since they will take up a majority of the responsibilities. These include sensitization drives and basic counseling activities. They will be required to refer complex cases to the professionals for specialized attention. This department will also carry out research sessions to determine different issues affecting students and the magnitude of these activities on the well being of the students. Lastly, this section will be tasked with the provision of alcohol screening services and alternative late-night entertainment activities.
Conclusion and Recommendation
It is advisable for this department to work closely with the liaison office when working out the modalities of carrying out mass awareness drives and counseling sessions, with the purpose of responding to challenges facing students, irrespective of their background. The guidance and counseling department should also focus on encouraging restraint among the student population. This will instigate a reduced indulgence in risky behavior as regards alcohol consumption. In addition, the program should encourage protective behavior. This may be achieved by engaging participants in discussion over several topics, including assault, insomnia, poor academic returns, and sexual abuse.
In addition, the unit should join forces with other similar movements within the institution, especially those with a high membership. This will be beneficial, since time and manpower will be saved. This is because the society will tap into existing networks; hence reach a wider audience over a short time frame, as opposed to initiating fresh recruitment drives which may take longer periods of time to achieve similar results.
