Completers were defined as providing data at all three assessment periods (baseline, midpoint, 6 months), logging onto the study website a minimum of once, and attending at least one exercise session. Comparative analysis for variables of marital status and degree currently seeking were not conducted because the majority of participants (95%, n = 32) were single and enrolled as undergraduates.
