Group Fitness

We offer a number of group fitness sessions each semester, providing a variety of options for someone looking to improve their wellness in a high-energy setting! All it takes, along with your membership, is a trip to the Rec Center to pick up your Group Fitness Pass. The Group Fitness Pass is required to participate in any of the group fitness sessions, but it gets you access to any of the sessions anytime you want to join in the fun.

The pass is only $5.00 for students, and $10.00 for staff, faculty, alumni, and other members. Guests may also accompany you to class by paying the $5.00/day guest fee at the front desk or by buying a $45.00 punch card allowing them into 15 classes for the semester.
