FITNESS BENEFITS

Villanova University understands the important connection between body, mind and spirit. One of the many ways Villanova nurtures this in our employees is by offering various options for fitness both on and off campus. These options, combined with our comprehensive benefits package, enables our employees to grow, perform and live more fully.
 

ON CAMPUS

As a Villanova employee, you'll have access to Villanova's state-of-the-art Fitness Centers, which feature a variety of cardio and weight training equipment, and the indoor pool. If you prefer more guided workouts, employees are able to register for a broad range of Group Exercise classes or sign-up for Personal Training

Villanova also offers Nutrition Counseling to employees enrolled in a medical plan.
