September 8, 2014 •
WorkFit offerings include Crazy about Core, which helps strengthen the body’s center through a combination of mat work, resistance exercise, Pilates, yoga and more.
Summer may be coming to a close, but it’s never too late to get fit. UCOP’s WorkFit program returns this week for the fall session, with a try-it-for free week. You don’t need to register, just show up. Find out what your colleagues are buzzing about.
WorkFit instructors can accommodate any skill level, and classes are offered at both Franklin and Kaiser. Three membership options are offered, and family and friends (over age 18) are welcome to join for the same price:
- Full membership, at $50, allows you to attend as many classes as you wish at either location until the end of the session on Dec. 11, 2014.
- Half-session, at $30, allows you to attend as many classes as you wish at either location for the first half of the session through Oct. 16, 2014.
- A second half-session, also at $30, runs from Oct. 20 through Dec. 11, 2014.
The existing class schedule at both locations continues for the fall session. For site calendars and registration information, go to the Risk Services website and locate the PDFs at the bottom of the page.
Remember that your membership allows you to attend as many classes as you like and at either location.
New for this session: Members will be issued ID cards for the session. Starting the week of Sept. 15, please make sure to bring your card to each class.
