Meet Sarah Gaines, a Northeastern senior and the founder of Fit University, a health and fitness source for college students.

Fit University—and its inaugural campus chapter Fit NU—provides students with recipes and exercises to help them build a fit and healthy lifestyle.

“Eating healthy and exercising is not a temporary thing; it is now the foundation for how I live my life,” says Gaines, CAMD’15, in her Fit University biography. A communication studies major, Gaines made a commitment to change her lifestyle during her second year at Northeastern. The results inspired her to help others. “Fitness is my lifestyle and I encourage you to make it a part of yours.”

Here, in the first of a weekly, summerlong video series, Gaines introduces you to Fit University.
