03 Mar Get Fit and Win Big with the Train for Gains Challenge at the SRC
Students at Cal State Fullerton can find one more reason to head to the Student Recreation Center as Associated Students Inc. launches the first-ever Train for Gains challenge from Feb. 17-April 25, which will reward students who regularly use the SRC with the opportunity to win prizes.
To enter the Train for Gains drawing, students must register at the SRC front desk or Titan Recreation website and complete 25 workouts or wellness activities at the SRC. Each visit earns one point, tracked by scanning a barcode at the front desk.
“The SRC hopes to encourage students to prioritize their health and wellbeing,” said SRC Member Service and Outreach Coordinator Leilani Castillo. “We worked with the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Planning and found that students who visited the SRC 20-80 times a semester have a higher GPA than students that do not utilize the facility.”

Anyone who completes the program by earning 25 points will be entered into an opportunity drawing, which will take place at the end-of-challenge celebration event, to win one of 12 prizes, which include a CSUF parking pass, 10 $100 Amazon gift cards or Titan Shops bookstore gift cards. Winners will be announced at the end-of-semester celebration, which will include food, activities and opportunity drawings. To win, attendees must be present.
“Being a part of ASI, a student-serving organization, we care about CSUF students and want to see all students thrive and succeed,” said Castillo. “We want to empower students’ academic success. We know that students who utilize all the great services and programs that the SRC has to offer do better in the classroom.”

Whether through the climbing wall, pool, breathwork and meditation, martial arts, or choosing from over 50 group fitness classes the SRC offers, students can complete the Train for Gains challenge in multiple creative ways. CSUF students of all majors are encouraged to participate, bettering their health while striving for valuable prizes.
