Episode Details

Eastern Washington University’s president, Shari McMahan, is turning campus wellness into a full-blown movement—leading step aerobics herself and even getting the entire football team to join her for “Wellness Wednesday.” What started as a skeptical experiment—coaches convinced her the athletes could handle it—turned into a high-energy hit. The players, many unfamiliar with step aerobics, were amazed by how quickly they adapted, praising McMahan’s infectious energy and pace. Coaches joined in too, proving this isn’t just about fitness—it’s about culture. With cheerleaders and Greek life already participating, McMahan’s vision is expanding to include more athletic teams, all part of a broader wellness push that also includes food pantries and employee health programs.
