WorkFit’s summer 2011 half-session #2 has officially kicked off. If you have not registered or need to re-up your summer half-session #1, get registered! Bring your sweats! Nudge your spouse or siblings to join you!

Both Franklin and Kaiser participants are enjoying the popular Zumba class, a full cardio workout done to Latin music. If you haven’t tried it, remember that WorkFit instructors can accommodate any skill level.

Half-session #2 membership, from July 18 to Aug. 26, 2011, is available for $30. Family and friends (over age 18) can also join for the same price.

To register, log onto the UC Berkeley Recreational Sports website. If you are a new enrollee, set up a new profile identifying your affiliation as “community.” When you are set up and logged in, search by UCOP to find the Franklin or Kaiser half-session #2 membership offerings.
