Campus Recreation

Starting Fall 2024 the Department of Campus Recreation has made improvements to our Group Fitness Program. We will now be offering classes by semester, and instituting semester/annual passes which allows you to attend any class. Our sessions will now be a semester session. This Fall 2024 will be from September 3rd through December 12th.

We have also streamlined the registration process. All registration will be online using our IM Leagues platform. Please use the link below to register.

Every person who purchases a fitness semester pass will receive a Southwestern University workout towel, and if you purchase an annual pass, you will receive a workout towel and water bottle.

We look forward to you participating in our Group Fitness Program.

Spring 2025 Fitness Class Schedule

BalletFit - Mondays at 6:30pm

Whether you’re an athlete looking to enhance precise footwork, balance, and flexibility, a former dancer needing an outlet again, or just wanting to try something new, beginner ballet introduces the fundamental skills transferable to many other fitness interests. This class will teach you the foundational techniques of proper barre, focus on the mind-body connection of strength and alignment, and develop the core control needed for injury prevention. This is a classical ballet class, different from new “barre” studio classes. No experience needed.
