University Recreation offers a variety of programs and services for U of A students and members. All U of A students have access to UREC facilities because membership is covered through tuition.

Members have access to the HPER building which includes the Donna Axum Fitness Center, an Olympic sized swimming pool, racquetball courts, train and cycle studios, an indoor track, a climbing and bouldering wall, four gymnasiums, a rental center, and more. Additionally, UREC operates two auxiliary facilities that members can access, the UREC Fitness Center in the AR Union and UREC Sports Complex at Mitchell Street. To tour the main facility, come to UREC Full House on Tuesday, Aug. 21 from 5 to 7 p.m. in the HPER Building. It is a free event and drop-ins are welcome.

Group fitness classes begin Monday, Aug. 20 through Thursday, Dec. 6. There are currently over 80 class times scheduled throughout the week with various formats and class times. Registration is required for all group fitness classes and can be reserved up to 24 hours in advance. View the fall group fitness schedule.

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.

UREC is also offering Small Group Training Classes from Monday, Sept.24 through Tuesday, Nov. 20 in the HPER. The class formats will be UREC RazorFitness which combine cardio and strength. Each week builds on the progress made in the previous session. Small Group Training classes are $30 for students and $40 for UREC members. These classes are more individualized than large group fitness classes, but still have a community feel with up to six participants per class. Personal training is also available as an individualized workout option.
