Since February of 2013 the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Fitness Wellness Unit has been working hard to promote health and fitness for employees at the State Capitol Complex. Starting with only 4 participants, this fun and highly effective program has rapidly grown. We currently offer Cross Training classes at no cost to employees.
To participate in these classes please complete the following steps:
- Complete and electronically submit this PAR-F form via e-mail to physicalfitness@dps.texas.gov.

The Cross Training classes are 30 minutes long and meet on the first floor of the Barbara Jordan Building in the Capital Complex, on San Jacinto and 16th. All equipment needed for the workout is provided. You only need to bring water! Typical workouts include body weight exercises such as squats, lunges, push-ups, and running and exercises using sand bells, kettle bells, medicine balls, resistance bands, jump ropes, rowing machines, heavy ropes, tires, and mats. In addition there are rowers and spin bikes for use at any time the facility is open as well as step up boxes, dumbbells, and bench.
