The Student Activities Center has been revving up the activity schedule for this fall with a Personal Training Crash Course. The SAC is offering free training sessions to 12 students this month. Personal training sessions for students are usually $20 per session, but Emily Harris, director of campus recreation said Lipscomb wanted to offer a special financial deal for students. “Any place you go in Nashville, it’s $50 to $80 dollars an hour. I mean it’s a steal,” Harris said about what Lipscomb is offering. “Even though $20 is a good deal, it’s still $20, and that’s hard for a college student to come up with.” “We wanted them to have that benefit of reaching their personal goals and experiencing personal training while in college,” Harris said, stressing the importance of students knowing how to take care of themselves now so they can maintain proper health as they age. “Thirty years down the road you might be like ‘Oh my gosh, I’ve gained 30 pounds. I need to lose weight! I don’t know what to do!’ Since you’ve experienced personal training in college, you won’t be freaked out to hire a personal trainer.” “You’ll remember, ‘Oh I’ve experienced that in college. It’s not what I thought it would be,’” Harris said. “It’s not like ‘The Biggest Loser’ on TV where they’re screaming at you and yelling. It’s like literally a life coach to help you reach the goals that you have.” Training sessions for participating students consist of two 30-minute workouts per week for four weeks. The certified trainers pair students with a workout partner, or if students have...

Trunk or Treat Thursday evening will be just the beginning of what promises to be a spooky good time at Lipscomb this Halloween. SGA, Kappa Iota Theta and Residence Life are throwing the first of what is planned to be an annual trunk or treat event from 6-8 p.m. Thursday in the Allen Arena Circle. Groups from around campus – including representatives of Lumination Network – will sponsor vehicles that will pass out candy to students who visit their trunks. The event also will have food, a pumpkin patch and a couple of musical guests. “SGA is constantly focusing on establishing and maintaining a community here on campus,” said Leah Raich a junior SGA senator. “What better way to do that than by a campus-wide trunk or treat?” It’s not all goodies, though, as other parts of campus are involved in the Halloween festivities. For example, the spinning classes offered in the SAC this week have taken on a spooky feel. The studio has been “haunted,” with black lights, Halloween music and a graveyard scene. Halloween classics such as Goosebumps and Halloween will be the backdrop as students ride the bikes. On Sunday, all rides will be free as SeaMonsters 3D provides the setting. “Our spinning instructors are excited to see all the current as well as new spinners experience these haunted rides,” said Emily Harris, director of campus recreation. “You won’t want to miss this exciting opportunity. Call 615-966-5860 to reserve your bike.” Another nostalgic event is the airing of Hocus Pocus – a cherished Disney flick — in Fanning’s courtyard at 6 p.m. Sunday. This one ought...
