Muhlenberg Job Corps Center Director Eric Jones has taken healthy eating and active lifestyles to a whole new level for those students who wish to obtain ultimate fitness and health.

Cross fit at MJCC is a new six-week exercise and training program that includes exercise units three times a week with fitness homework assignments every weekend.  Fourteen students have enrolled in the class, and each week the students compete to be a top 7 contender to have the opportunity to train off center every Wednesday at the P.R. Zone Cross Fitness Center in Powderly, Kentucky.

Cross Fitness students are preparing for their Military Entrance Processing Station testing, athletic scholarships, or their own personal goal of wanting to be healthy.  Jones states, “the ultimate goal for the students is to reap the rewards of eating right, drinking right, training hard and sleeping well.  It’s important for them to realize that a healthy body can only be obtained by having a healthy and active lifestyle.”  Jones hopes to hot a Job Corps cross fitness competition at the P.R. Zone later this season.

The Muhlenberg Job Corps thanks Donnie Johnson, owner/operator of the P.R. Zone for working with our program.
