Meet Anne, our newest exercise physiology intern for this semester!

“Hi! My name is Anne. I am originally from Illinois and moved to North Carolina last year to earn my MS from UNCG.

I enjoy coffee, thrifting, being outdoors and staying active by taking walks with my dog and lifting at the gym. My main passion is to help people learn to improve their quality of life through fitness.”

For today’s , we are going to review using the SMART acronym when making New Years Resolutions.

Your goal needs to be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely. For example, rather than saying “I will go to the gym more this year,” expand the goal in more detail: “I will go to the gym 3 times per week for 30 minutes of cardio on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and attend Strong and Limber on Tuesday and Friday mornings.” Try and make a resolution that is realistic with your schedule, and check-in every week or two to make sure you’re staying on track.

You can do this! We are here to help with achieving your fitness goals and keep you moving in the right direction.

Happy New Year! We are closed today and will resume normal hours tomorrow, January 2.

"Hello everyone! My name is Chris, Tarheel turned Duke Health fitness staff. My favorite thing about working at DHFC is interacting with members and staying in shape.
