Introduction

Ever since coming to Florida State it has become apparent to me that the workout culture is huge at this school. People are constantly rushing to one of the two gyms, headphones on not focusing on anything except their workout. Since coming here I personally have become an active member of the gym and started to adopt a somewhat healthier lifestyle. What I mean by a healthier lifestyle is to eat cleaner and more consciously, think more positively about myself and my surroundings, and work out enough to make my body feel good. This community has taught me how to be the best me and makes me want to come to the gym to better my body and brain which is why I chose to research this community. As stated above, usually everyone just focuses on the gym and how helpful it can be to help make people healthier. However, there are other components to living a healthier life style, such as how you eat, how you think about yourself and your environment. All of these factors and others are how one can achieve a healthier lifestyle because health is about how you feel not how you look to others or the number on a scale. I interviewed a trainer who works at the Leach Gym named Jacob Fishback. He was able to give me another perspective on what his opinions on a healthy lifestyle is how to make them work at FSU. The question that I am asking is, “What at Florida State helps students between the ages of 18-21 create a healthier lifestyle?”
