    is being taught by Alex N.


    This program provides you with access to a wide variety of activities led by certified instructors. From endurance to strength to flexibility, our programs are designed to work for you!

    Getting Started

    1. Before you attend your first Group X class you must sign a waiver at the front desk of the Rec Center.  This makes you a Group X member and allows you to take as many classes as you would like.
    2. Review the schedule and pick out the classes that work for you. Classes are all drop in, so you can come to any class you want whenever you want. You don't have to sign up for a particular class, and you aren't obligated to keep coming to the same class. 
    3. Before each class pick up a Group X pass from Equipment Issue (second floor, just past the front desk) and turn this in to your instructor for each class.  Due to popularity, make sure to show up early to get your pass and guarantee your spot, as some classes will fill up.  Passes will be available 30 minutes prior to the class start time and cannot be reserved in advance.
