We are excited about our fitness revolution taking place at Gaylord Community Schools. Our goal is to provide a quality fitness program to each and every student and staff member at Gaylord Community Schools. We have grown from having 45 students participating in 2019 to over 400 students and staff members in 2023. There are a variety of options and resources available:
● High school students can take advantage of the Physical Training class during the day.
● Middle school students now have a weight room and it is being used in the Exercise Science class. There is also an after school weight lifting program.
● Students can utilize the after school program in the high school weight room every school day until 4pm.
● If a student can’t make either of those they can still sign up with Mr. Beyers to take advantage of home or gym based workouts through our online app called Teambuildr.
● In the summer the weight room will be open 3 days a week for an hour and a half.
● There is a nutrition resource that is made for students to individualize a healthy eating plan that is appropriate for their age, size, activity level, and goals.
● We are currently working on providing a recovery room for our students where they can utilize massage guns and compression chairs to speed up the recovery from the strain of the workouts.
● Staff members have options too:
○ Monday, Wednesday, and Friday workouts at 7am.
○ Staff can utilize the home or gym-based workouts through the Teambuildr app.
There is a lot to be excited about as our community is embracing physical activity to help their mental and physical health. We know it helps in the classroom too. Be part of the revolution!
