Now’s the time to get in shape for the holidays.

The popular WorkFit program fall 2011 half-session #2 started last week and still has spaces available. If you have not registered or need to re-up your fall half-session #1, get registered and bring your sweats. WorkFit instructors can accommodate any skill level.

For Franklin WorkFitters: The Marriott Oakland City Center is hosting the program through the end of the fall session. The bigger space at the Marriott has allowed the program to expand to four days a week.

For Kaiser WorkFitters, the program continues in the same space, room 260 on the second floor of the two-story Kaiser Mall Building, adjacent to the garage.

Fall session #2 membership is $30. This allows you to attend as many classes as you wish at either location until the end of the session on Dec. 9 (Franklin) and Dec. 21 (Kaiser). Friends and family (over age 18) are welcome to join for the same low price.

To register, check out WorkFit under the Topics of Interest section of the UCOP EHS website. Family and friends (over age 18) are welcome to join for the same low price.
