This fall, being turned away from full exercise classes will be a thing of the past — for a price.
RecSports will be offering Premium Group Fitness classes to tackle overcrowding next fall. Students will have the opportunity to pay a small fee to be registered in classes, which will be offered at the renovated Southwest Recreation Center.
“Smaller group training in specified formats will not only get rid of waiting, but it will also allow progress to be tracked,” said Meaghan O’Dwyer, graduate assistant for group fitness. “It’s a medium between personal training and group fitness.”
The prices have not been determined yet for the classes, O’Dwyer said.
“Students usually try to beg for a way to get a number,” said Brian Rose, operations associate for RecSports. “They try to tell me to make one more number, but I can’t make exceptions.”
Haley Olsen, a freshman, said that she would sign up for Premium Group Fitness classes to save herself time.
“It’d be nice not to have to come so early,” Olsen said.
