About Group Fitness

Group Fitness offers a diverse range of class formats, including cardiovascular, strength, dance, strength and conditioning, mind/body and indoor cycling. Classes are offered in a motivating environment, and instructors adapt each class according to the need and skill levels of participants.

• All instructors are CPR/AED and First Aid certified and have completed an extensive training program prior to instruction.
• The Department of Recreational Sports recommends obtaining a physician’s clearance prior to participating in group fitness or any other physical activity.
• All classes include an abdominal and lower back strengthening segment, with the exception of express classes. Classes are offered on a drop-in, first come, first served basis.
• Not sure which class to go to? Try as many as you would like for free during Jam Week (second week of classes each academic semester).
