As a student newspaper, it is important to venture outside the campus to find out what’s going on in PV’s immediate surrounding communities. There are so many things to be discovered, ammenities to take advantage of, and many new things to learn about history and how this university came to be. During this adventure to make new discoveries to share with PV’s student body, Fitness Plus, a fitness gym, was found in the back parts of Hempstead on 12th street.
Walking into the facility, one would find that it has everything that any mainstream gym would provide to get those summer bodies into shape.
Patricia Devers, owner and founder of Fitness Plus, began her journey to become a gym owner at PV. It was, and still is, her heart’s desire to provide a place where people will not live a “sedimentary lifestyle” and stay active for the purposes of life and health.
Currently PV does not have a facility in which students can get a good workout in an environment that provides many different types of equipment for all students to take advantage of.
At only $20 a month for membership, and no sign up costs, Devers has made it possible for all students to start living a healthy lifestyle.
Devers deserves commendation for what she is doing in this community.
