Boys participate in spin cycling classes in the new fitness center. the elliptical machines, or participating in a class led by me or a virtual instructor in our new spin studio, featuring 10 top-of-the-line spin bikes. Countless studies reinforce the idea that sustainable adherence to a healthy lifestyle relies on fostering self- efficacy, confidence, and goal-setting skills in the individual. With the new space, we are excited to make the fitness program accessible to a much wider audience. We firmly believe that this beautiful new facility will instill a love and appreciation for fitness in our boys that will transcend their time in school and serve as the foundation for the rest of their lives.
