“Club 49, named after the number of the classroom it replaced, has 24 stationary bicycles, 20 elliptical trainers, exercise balls, four flat-screen TVs and six computers used to store and track students' progress. During school hours, students who couldn't pass a state fitness test use Club 49 instead of going to a regular PE class. After school, it's open to all students in San Marcos Middle's after-school program. All are trying to meet state standards in areas such as cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and upper-body strength. The state test also requires that a student's body-mass index, calculated using height and weight, is within a healthy range.”
