Athens County • March 25, 2025
Good morning, Athens County. January's fitness resolutions may be ancient history by March, but personal trainers at Ohio University are proving that sustainable exercise success doesn't require going it alone. Both the Well-Being and Recreation center and WellWorks offer customized training packages designed to help everyone from marathon hopefuls to weightlifting novices achieve their goals while maintaining proper form and finding unexpected mental health benefits along the way.
As you're working on your fitness journey, campus officials have another health advisory: resist the urge to share your lunch with those adorable deer and squirrels roaming OU's grounds. Wildlife experts warn that human food can cause health problems for animals and potentially lead to aggressive behavior. Instead of feeding campus critters, students might consider feeding their futures at the Spring Internship & Career Fair, where professional connections await those looking to transform classroom knowledge into career opportunities.

πͺ Personal trainers unlock fitness success for beginners and pros alike. Every New Year, many people set fitness goals only to abandon them by March due to lack of structure or knowledge. Personal trainers provide expert guidance on proper form and create customized plans tailored to individual goals, whether running a marathon or deadlifting 200 pounds. Both Ohio University's Well-Being and Recreation center and WellWorks offer training packages at various price points, with experts emphasizing that the mental benefits of regular exercise often outweigh the physical ones. Beyond helping clients, these programs also provide valuable real-world experience for students studying exercise science.
π¦ Campus wildlife shouldn't be your next dinner date. Ohio University students are being warned against feeding or interacting with the abundant wildlife on campus, including deer, squirrels, and groundhogs. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, feeding wild animals can lead to aggressive behavior and health problems for the animals, who cannot properly digest human foods. Wildlife interactions also pose risks to humans, including potential injuries from bites or charges, and exposure to diseases like rabies. Experts recommend following the "Respect wildlife" principle by maintaining a safe distance and observing animals from afar.
π Students seek career opportunities at Spring Internship & Career Fair. The event connects Ohio University students with potential employers in various professional fields. While not explicitly detailed in the article, these fairs typically offer resume reviews, interview practice, and networking opportunities. The Post TV also covered Mill Fest activities and Student Senate's Pride Week events in their latest episode. Additionally, they featured information about pet adoption from the Athens County Humane Society.
