The University of Western States fitness center, located in the the gym, includes aerobic equipment (FreeMotion Fitness ellipticals, bikes, and treadmills) and a strength training suite (weight systems, cable based training, and plenty of free space for equipment clearance). The gym features a basketball court, ping-pong table, foosball, lounge and locker rooms.

UWS encourages students to support healthy behaviors. Each quarter students can be reimbursed $20 for participating in a wellness activity. It can be gym memberships, online fitness classes, exercise, meditation and wellness apps, race or competition registration fees and even personal workout equipment. Just fill out the wellness activity fee reimbursement form once a quarter, attach the receipt from that quarter and turn in the form to student services.

The UWS clinic operates in conjunction with the university. It offers whole-person health care, including chiropractic, prevention and wellness care, sports medicine and functional medicine. The clinic also offers diagnostic imaging services. Learn more about the UWS clinic.
