The Department of Exercise Science and Physical Education at Georgia Gwinnett College is seeking volunteers from the wider community for participation in a 10-week exercise program. The program will help people sharpen hands-on skills, while gaining experience in a practical fitness setting.
Volunteers will have a pre-training and post-training fitness assessment performed, which will include:
- Blood pressure
- Body composition
- Cardiovascular fitness
- Muscular strength
- Balance
- Flexibility
Following the pre-training assessment, participants will undergo a 10-week personalized fitness training program two days per week. Each session will last approximately one hour. To participate, volunteers must be apparently healthy adults with no major health conditions and be available 5 – 6 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning September 6 through November 16.
- For more information, or to see if you meet the requirements, contact GGC’s Department of Exercise Science and Physical Education at exscpracticum@ggc.edu before August 30.
Gwinnett Place CID funds new Axis cameras for police
Gwinnett Police will receive 30 new cameras, thanks to the Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District. The Axis security cameras are valued at $2,550 each and will be placed at every traffic signal within the 14-square mile district which includes the Interstate 85 corridor and a portion of I-285.
The cameras will also support Gwinnett Transportation by providing better video coverage of traffic in the area while helping provide an extra layer of security for Gateway 85 business parking lots and fronts. The cameras will be vital to help develop, identify and locate offenders who commit various crimes against Gwinnett County residents and visitors. The Axis cameras are different from flock cameras. Flock cameras are license plate readers. The Azis cameras can look at the front of businesses, and even track down suspects from a bird’s eye view.
