Is getting healthy on your list of New Year’s resolutions?

The popular WorkFit program returns for the Spring 2012 session starting Tuesday, Jan. 17, with a try-it-for-free week. You don’t need to register, just show up. Bring your sweats. Grab a colleague. Take a friend. Take your spouse. Get fit for free this week!

If you haven’t tried it, now is the time! WorkFit instructors can accommodate any skill level.

News for Franklin: While the Marriott/Oakland City Center is undergoing a remodel of their meeting spaces, the mid-day classes are temporarily relocating to CSU East Bay at 1000 Broadway (entrance is on the 11^th Street side, halfway between Broadway and Franklin streets). Once again, Kate White and her staff at CSUEB will host the program in Room 1. Unfortunately this means curtailing the after-work schedule back to two days a week, but as soon as the Marriott is ready, the schedule will be expanded.

Also new this session is the Dawn Patrol Yoga, Tuesdays and Thursdays 7-7:45 a.m. in Lobby One.  It’s a nice way to start the day.

News for Kaiser WorkFitters: The program will resume in the same space on the second floor of the two-story Kaiser Mall building adjacent to the garage.

Three membership options will be offered for the Fall session:

• Full membership for the Fall session is $50. This allows you to attend as many classes as you wish at either location until the end of the session April 27, 2012.
• Half-Session $30. This allows you to attend as many classes as you wish at either location for the first half of the Fall session through March 19, 2012.
• A second half-session membership will be offered for $30 — keep an eye on Link for the announcement in March!

Family and friends (over age 18) are welcome to join for the same low price.
