Been thinking about upping your fitness? Join WorkFit

It’s not too late to join WorkFit’s summer session.

UCOP’s fitness program conveniently serves clients at both the Franklin and Kaiser locations, with summer mid-session passes available for $30 and effective now through Friday, Aug. 31.

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

See the complete monthly schedules for both locations on the Risk Services website in the “Newsworthy” box.

For those who prefer a quiet start to the workday, try Dawn Patrol Yoga Tuesday and Thursday from 7 to 7:45 a.m. in Franklin Lobby 1. Midday Franklin classes continue in room 1 of the CSU East Bay (CSUEB) Building, located at 1000 Broadway (entrance is on the 11th St. side, halfway between Broadway and Franklin).

The Kaiser program is located in room 206 on the second floor of the two-story Kaiser Mall building adjacent to the garage.

As always, family and friends (over age 18) are welcome to join for the same low price!
