Spring WorkFit program begins this week: Give it a try for free

Workfit classJust in time to help you keep your New Year’s resolutions, UCOP’s Workfit program returns this month, with a variety of classes at both Franklin and Kaiser locations.

Try it for free, starting this week. You don’t need to register; just show up! And don’t be discouraged if you are a beginner or have any activity or movement restrictions; WorkFit instructors can work with you to accommodate any ability level.

Three membership options will be offered for the spring 2014 session:

  • Membership for the full spring session, at $50, allows you to attend as many classes as you wish at either location through Thursday, April 24.
  • A half-session membership, at $30, covers unlimited classes at either location for the first half of the session through Thursday, Feb. 27.
  • A second half-session membership, also at $30, allows you to attend unlimited classes at both locations from Monday, March 3, through Thursday, April 24.

Family and friends over age 18 are welcome to join for the same low price. For class schedules at both sites and registration information, please see the Risk Services website and refer to the WorkFit calendars at the bottom of the page.
