The mission of the Scotford Fitness Center is to provide a campus facility that allows the Whitworth community to engage in the pursuit of physical fitness and wellness. The objectives are:

• To create an inviting, friendly atmosphere welcoming people at all levels of fitness.
  
  
• To provide programming that engenders the concept of "total body fitness." This includes development of muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular wellness, flexibility, and body composition.
  
  
• To offer general wellness/fitness instruction and information, while supporting the fitness components of the Kinesiology Department's curriculum.
  
  
• To be receptive to the unique needs of the various constituents that use the facility.
  
  
• To serve as an internship site for upper division students majoring in Health, Fitness, Wellness, Physical Education, and Athletic Training.
  
  
• To provide an environment that honors God by living the scripture 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.
  • "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. You were bought with a price. Therefore honor God with your body."
