Group Fitness Classes
The Department of Athletics and Recreation sponsors group fitness classes every semester through the Intramural Sports Program. We offer a variety of aerobic and conditioning classes.
Classes will be held via the Zoom Platform live or in person.
We are also teaming up with the Mindful University Project for additional meditation and yoga events, with a full schedule.
The in-person classes are free for all full-time matriculated students or R Club members. Zoom classes are online and free to all faculty, staff, students and R Club members.
All in-person classes are held in the Leibner Cooper Room in the Goergen Athletic Center. Classes are offered throughout the academic year, except during University holidays.
Please wear appropriate and comfortable attire and remember to abide by Goergen Athletic Center guidelines, including wearing a mask when required. Please see our FAQ's for more information.

Class Descriptions
Zumba—A fun dance-based, interval-style workout set to Latin and international music. Everything can be modified to fit your own personal fitness level.
Vinyasa Yoga—Vinyasa classes are a strong moving flow that cultivates balance, stability, flexibility and vigor. Breath awareness and coordination are carried throughout the practice as the asana ebbs and flows between effort and ease. This class is suitable for all levels and prior yoga experience is not required.
Iyengar Yoga—This 1 hour class is formatted for the beginner and/or intermediate yogi. We will practice inversions, standing poses, backbends as well as balancing poses.
