The Spring 2011 WorkFit half-session #2 began on Monday, March 7. It’s not too late to register and join your colleagues to get fit and reduce stress!

WorkFit has something for everyone and at every level. In fact, more than half of all WorkFit participants had no previous formal exercise program. If you joined the spring half-session #1 or did not get in earlier for the full session, you can pick up the half-session #2 now; cost is $30 for the balance of the session through April 29.

Memberships are flexible and allow attendance at any class, any time at either of two locations. Family and friends (over age 18) can also join for the same low price.

To register, logon to https://myrecreation.berkeley.edu/store/index.aspx?view=front and search by keyword UCOP. Choose your membership by selecting one of the courses entitled “UCOP Flex Pass-Franklin half Session Sect SP 2” or “UCOP Flex Pass Kaiser Half Session SP2.” Again, all memberships allow you to attend any class at any location without restriction.
