Athletics and Wellness Center
The Wellness Department is dedicated to providing a variety of safe and quality programs, facilities, and services. Our goal is to promote, establish and maintain an environment that encourages healthy lifestyle choices to affirm physical, mental, and social well-being throughout our community. For the past 22 years, the Wellness Programs at Earlham College have made a significant contribution to the health and wellbeing of our campus by providing a breadth of coverage that touches the lives of every student. Furthermore, the program strives to impact the lives of the Earlham staff, faculty and the wider Richmond and Wayne County community, as well.
The program’s components of mind, body, spirit and community provide depth by working collaboratively with Earlham Health Services, Counseling Services, the Office of Religious Life, Outdoor Education and Residence Life to provide programs such as Wellness Late-Nights and the annual Wellness Fair. Group fitness classes including yoga, pilates and spinning are available. Additional services include massage therapy, personal training and swim lessons.
Our vision: To be a leader in wellness by providing comprehensive and engaging programs and services enhancing the campus experience.
