ALTOONA, Pa. — Penn State Altoona’s Kinesiology program is offering students an opportunity to kick-start a fitness journey through a free peer-mentorship exercise program.

The KINect program provides six weeks of one-on-one personal training by an upper-level kinesiology student. Following an orientation, students will meet with their mentor twice a week for an hour each session and track their progress.

Whether new to the gym or pursuing new goals, students will gain a regular exercise program, fitness knowledge and confidence, and a chance to connect with fellow students.

Students may sign up online.
