FitPasses are changing,
starting this summer!
Campus Recreation has a new FitPass structure! This change will allow us to provide higher quality classes and instructors with diverse backgrounds. We believe the new structure will improve your experience with our classes and help us to continually provide cutting-edge, fun, and effective exercise classes.
There is now only ONE FitPass, which covers any fee-based group exercise class, including Mind/Body and Cycling! (Excludes multi-session Specialty / Instructional Classes.)
Our new structure is as follows:
Semester FitPass: $60; provides unlimited access to all fee-based group fitness classes including mind/body and cycling; expires at semester end.
25-Class FitPass: $50; provides 25 visits to all fee-based group fitness classes including mind/body and cycling; expires after 25 class uses, or on September 4, 2009.
Summer FitPass: $25; provides unlimited access to all fee-based group fitness classes including mind/body and cycling; expires September 5, 2008.
Drop-In Pass: $4 for any fee-based group fitness class, including every mind/body and cycling, all year long.
Free Classes:
All water classes are free.
A selection of general group exercise classes is free.
During the first week of each semester (Spring, Summer, Fall) all classes are free.
Class Descriptions:
Venerable Vortex: A low to moderate intensity water workout in our vortex pool. Geared toward those of us who have been around the block a few times, but a great exercise alternative for everyone!
Cycle n' Core: In this hour long class, enjoy an intense 40 minute ride with a 20 minute abs & core strengthening session. A perfect way to burn some calories and tighten and tone that mid-section.
Scultp n' Core: This hour long class hits it all. A great way to strengthen and tone the legs, glutes, abs, chest, back, and arms. Come burn some calorie and tighten up the whole body.
Step: This choreographed class is an awesome combination of cardiovascular workout and lower body muscle toning that will teach you proper stepping technique and combinations.
Core Step: A one hour class that will sweat away calories. Tone up to an all-time favorite and at the same time strengthen your abs and core.
Abs & Core: This 30-minute class combines various types of exercises to strengthen and tone the abdominals. Come and get some great ideas to incorporate into your own workouts!
Body Ball: This 30-minute stability ball class focuses on strengthening the core of the body: great for balance, posture, and the development of strong and functional abdominal and back muscles.
Extreme Ride: This is not your Sunday afternoon peddle through the park. Hop on and spend 50 minutes on an endurance ride that would leave Lance Armstrong out of breath!
Beginner Yoga: A perfect blend of deep stretching poses and calming relaxation. This Iyengar style class focuses on proper posture and body alignment, while staying connected with the mind and body.
Intermediate Yoga: Keeps the focus on proper body alignment and a mind and body connection, but moves into slightly more challenging poses designed to deepen your practice. A relaxing yet challenging workout.
Pilates Mat: Pilates Mat is a series of floor exercises performed using the resistance of your body and gravity. Learn the fundamentals of pilates: proper body alignment, strength, flexibility, and a strong core. Safe for joints and ligaments; works specifically to develop the muscles that support them.
Power Pilates: A fusion of Power Yoga and Pilates. An intense hour that focuses on strengthening the core muscles, while at the same time elongating muscles. It is a fast-paced class, and a great workout!
Unless otherwise specified, all classes above meet at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center and are 50 minutes long.

"Big Bears to Little Bears Challenge":
This program is for anyone overweight and looking to lose it once and for all. Positive peer influence and motivation usually leads to a favorable outcome.

Points will be based on PT Session Attendance, the team's % of bodyweight lost, and weekly challenges. Weekly results will be posted on the Campus Recreation website and at UMeFitness, which is a tool for health/wellness blogging and other social networking/messaging tools, as well as obtaining nutrition and training info. At the end of the semester, the winning team will receive a prize package including a massage and a free FitPass.
