FUNFIT instructors Helena Collins of the School of Rehabilitation Science, Rosalind Grant and Debra Kigar of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences were special guests of vice-president, Karen Belaire at a recognition lunch in honour of their contributions to the FUNFIT Program at McMaster.

The FUNFIT Program offers classes in aerobics, step aerobics, body sculpting, dance-it and Tai-Chi that accommodate all fitness levels. Classes run five days a week on the lunch hour either from 12:10-12:55 or 1-1:45 in the 2F gym in the hospital. Evening aerobics and yoga classes are also offered.
