Wellesley College Recreation - FIT Card Program

F. I. T. Card

Giving your body the exercise it needs is an important part of succeeding at Wellesley and leading a happy and healthy life.

Now, it pays to be fit. The Department of Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics (PERA) Student Advisory Committee has established the PERA Fitness Initiative Tracker ("FIT") Card Program to increase student participation in physical activities and promote healthy, balanced lifestyles. Your FIT account allows you to track your exercise progress and make sure you are giving your body the exercise it needs to help you excel at Wellesley. You will also be part of friendly competition to see which graduating class is the fittest.

At the end of the academic year, all students who participate will be invited to the FIT tracker fitness celebration and will be entered in a raffle for great prizes. The more points you accumulate, the greater your chances of winning!

How does it work?

Every Wellesley student receives a FIT Card account for each academic year. Click here to access the online point tracking system. If it is your first time logging into the website, please provide your firstclass username and class year to set up your account. This link will only work from on-campus.

You will receive 1 point on your FIT Card for every recreational, fitness and/or intramural activity lasting at least ½ hour that you participate in (not counting required physical education classes, varsity or club sports.)

For every recreational, fitness, intramural, club sport contest and/or athletic contest you attend as a spectator, you will earn 1 point up to a maximum of 2 points a week.
You must enter your points on the FIT website on a weekly basis for the system to count them. (Sunday night is the deadline for entering points for the previous week.)
Too little exercise isn't healthy, but neither is too much exercise. To ensure a healthy balance, you can accumulate a maximum of 2 points a day.

Getting your heart rate up doesn't have to mean getting on the treadmill. Here are some other activities you might enjoy:

Take a walk around Lake Waban.
Show your Blue Pride at a varsity or club sport competition.
Audit a PE class.
Go on an Outdoor Adventures trip.
Sign up for an intramural.

Be creative. Just get your heart rate up for 30 minutes to be FIT!
