Classes on the Collier Campus of Florida SouthWestern State College will take on a new dimension thanks to a partnership between the college and the Greater Naples YMCA. The celebration kicked off with an afternoon of activities on Wednesday, Oct. 14 on FSW’s Collier Campus. Faculty, staff and students had the chance to try out a variety of activities, from yoga to kickboxing.

FSW and the Naples YMCA will work together to provide regular group exercise classes on the Collier Campus for students, staff and faculty. The Y will also provide special discounted membership rates to use their newly rebuilt facility.

“This partnership with the Greater Naples YMCA means that our faculty, staff and students will now have the chance to participate in exercise sessions before, between or after classes right on our campus,” said Dr. Robert R. Jones, Regional Vice President Economic and Community Development and Collier Campus President, FSW. “Thanks to the expertise that the YMCA can offer, the FSW community benefits.”

“By bringing classes to the campus, we can achieve a common goal of engaging the FSW faculty, staff and students in wellness activities, in addition to promoting a healthy lifestyle,” said Paul Thien, President/CEO, Greater Naples YMCA. “FSW will also have the benefit of a special membership rate, along with all the offerings onsite at the Y.”
