Did you know as students at SFU - you get discounted rates within our Human Performance Lab? ANY student on campus.

So if you have a health and fitness goal this year or you are training for a physical event we can help give you information around body composition, how your metabolism works, heart rates you should be exercising at, how your body functions and more!!

We can help you create goals for yourself and give you guidance on how to reach them as well as progress assessments on your journey. Best part? Your money goes right back into our lab for our ExPhys students!

Please reach out to hpl@francis.edu for scheduling or questions. We accept cash or card for payments.
