Group Exercise Policies

Group exercise classes are part of the recreation membership. Full-time, matriculating undergrads students have recreation membership at no additional fee during the academic year. Faculty, staff, graduates, and continuing education are required to purchase recreation membership at Member Services in the Recreation Center to participate in group exercise classes.

Group exercise classes are held in multi-purpose activity rooms in the Recreation Center. Activity rooms 118 & 121 are located on level 1. Activity rooms 210 & 215 are located on level 2. Cubbies are located near activity rooms for personal belongings. Please follow posted policies, including:

  • Only activities on the published schedule are permitted in activity rooms.
  • Classes are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Classes will be limited based on space and the availability of equipment.
  • No admittance after class has begun.
  • Proper exercise attire, including footwear and upper and lower body clothing, is required. Barefeet permitted for designated classes only.
  • Water is permitted in unbreakable containers. Other beverages and food is not permitted.
  • Audio equipment is for instructor use only.
  • Exercise equipment is for its intended purpose and must remain in activity rooms.
  • Personal instruction or training other than scheduled through Campus Recreation is prohibited.

Tips for a Good Workout

  • Arrive on time!  A warm-up period is offered for safety and comfort. It is not a good idea to miss any part of the warm-up period. Also, arriving in a timely manner can help if a class typically reaches capacity.
  • Work at your own pace. Modifications are offered for varying fitness levels, so select the one that is challenging yet comfortable.
  • Try a variety of classes. Everyone has a favorite, but different classes address different aspects of fitness. Recruit a buddy if you need extra motivation.
  • Ask questions before and after class if you have concerns or want to know what the class will be like.
  • Try something twice. Sometimes learning the terminology and form at the first session can change your perception of a certain class.
