University Recreation is offering Small Group Training classes during the Summer 2022 semester. Small group training offers a unique opportunity to explore a new dimension of fitness by blending camaraderie of a group fitness class with individualized attention of a certified personal trainer. Small group training is a great option for those seeking to be a part of a motivating class working towards achieving their fitness goals.
