About us
BodyWorks is an Outreach Program of the UBC School of Kinesiology. Our adult-oriented facility incorporates evidence-based practices into our programs and services, in addition to facilitating ongoing education and training to UBC undergraduate and graduate students. Our student based staffing and non-competitive classes create an enriching and supportive environment for all participants and the student community.
Mission
To develop student leadership and kinesiology skills through the delivery of evidence-based fitness programs for older adults and people with chronic conditions.
Vision
The vision of UBC BodyWorks is to develop and deliver exercise programs for specific populations to assist with disease management and promote healthy aging. These programs provide an experiential learning environment for Kinesiology students to apply what they learn in the classroom and work with different clinical populations while developing leadership and coaching skills. The BodyWorks community will also support the research of the School of Kinesiology as a participant pool for study recruitment.
