A ribbon cutting event on Friday, April 19 at 11 a.m. will mark the official opening of the new Life University wellness station at Swift-Cantrell Park in Kennesaw. The public is welcome to attend.

“Life University is sponsoring this new fitness equipment which addresses environmental, social, physical and emotional dimensions of wellness that reflect one of LIFE’s pillars of success,” said Greg Harris, Life University Vice President of Development and also a board member of the Swift-Cantrell Park Foundation. “This will encourage more people to play, exercise and socialize outdoors at the park and LIFE is pleased to be a part of this.”

The outdoor wellness station is a complete fitness and body-weight training system designed to exercise nearly all of the bones and muscles. The system consists of five stations, 120 exercises, and can accommodate up to 14 users at once. Two additional stations will feature low-impact, functional exercises to help older, active adults stay fit, prevent injury, and maintain an independent healthy lifestyle.
