University
Recreation Group Fitness classes will begin on Monday, Jan. 14. By providing participants with variety,
enjoyment and support in their fitness experience, group fitness classes can to
take the “work” out of your workout.
Group Fitness classes are instructor-led classes set to music that focus
on various fitness components such as cardiovascular endurance and total body
strength.
“Group
Fitness classes create an environment where people come together for a common
goal,” says Jessica Graham, graduate assistant for UREC Fitness/Wellness. “The
instructors also help to motivate you, which provides a positive support
system.”
University
of Arkansas students, faculty, and staff are eligible to take Group Fitness
classes at no cost. All other UREC membership
types must purchase a semester Group Fitness Pass for $40, which includes Group
Fitness for both facilities. All
classes are available on a drop-in basis.
Registration is required once per year, and can be done either at the
UREC membership office or at the class location.
There will
be several new group fitness formats to look for during the spring 2013 semester!

Zumba blends it all together into a safe and FUN workout that’s
