Fitness and Wellness Information

Get Fit!!

In the Department of Intramural and Recreational Sports, we want you to become engaged in our programs and facilities. By engaged we mean that you participate or use our programs to an extent that you develop a sense of ownership and belonging with us feel like part of the university community. We want you to feel like you matter here, because you do.

One of our more popular programs is the fitness and wellness program. We offer a wide variety of personal assessments, classes and self directed fitness challenges. By becoming involved in these, it is our hope that you will improve your lifestyle through improving your fitness level and truly become engaged with our program.

In addition to our fitness and wellness programs, our facilities are open over 300 hours per week and offer different opportunities at each location. The open recreation program provides a great chance to try new activities as equipment for things like racquetball and squash are available so you can try new things without having to purchase anything. There is also state of the art weight and cardiovascular equipment available for your use to supplement your fitness needs.

The Intramural Sports Department will be offering Health and Fitness days in the various centers. If you have a fitness related question, the fitness staff will be stationed at the SAC weight room and  HSC Fitness Center on various dates throughout the semester. If you have a question about your workout, how to use a certain machine or don't know how to get started, please stop by and visit us at any of these open sessions. There is no cost for this program and no appointment is needed, just stop by and ask your questions!

Why Group Fitness? Because the term aerobics just didn't reflect the diverse offering of classes now available. This year you will have your choice of many new classes. Classes consist of a 12 week session starting May 13th and running through June 26th in the SAC Gym, and through August 1st in the HSC Fitness Center. To enroll come by the Intramural Office, SAC E-102 or the HSC Fitness Center. The cost is only $30 which enables you to attend any class on either campus any time you want! Registration fees are non-refundable.
