UF students can soon avoid the all-too-common wait associated with group fitness classes.
On Wednesday, the UF Department of Recreational Sports Board of Directors voted to implement a new online registration system for these classes.
The new registration system will be available beginning Oct. 24, said Ambre Sheehy, RecSports coordinator for fitness.
Under this new system, online registration for a group fitness class will open 25 hours prior to the start time of the class.
Participants will be allowed to cancel any reservations without penalty for up to three hours before the class begins.
The old number system called for students to arrive ahead of time for a class and receive a number on a first-come, first-served basis in order to be admitted to a class.
"The number system worked, but it wasn't perfect," Sheehy said. "This new system is more convenient for students."
Any student or member who has access to the RecSports facilities will be able to sign up for a class at recsports.ufl.edu.
