You will access the schedule on our fitness class page, select the class you would like to take, click it, and use your university credentials to sign-in and secure your spot in class

When you get to class the instructor will simply ask for your name and check you in. You no longer need to bring your ID to the fitness but will still need to check into the building.

Yes- you will need to reserve your spot each time you plan to attend a class. Reservations can be made 3 days in advance of each class. You can register for up to 4 classes or 2 weeks to save your spot.

If you drop in without registering you will need to register when you get to the class. The instructor will help you do this.  Everyone that has registered will be let in first and then any remaining spaces in the class will be filled with those in the waiting line.

Registration will open 2 weeks prior to the start of the class. Registering prior to the class ensures you will have a spot in the class as long as you arrive at least 3 minutes before the start time.

If a class if full you can still show up at the door to jump on the standby list. If someone that registered does not show up, there is a possibility you may be able to get into the class.
