If you’re looking for a fitness program that is exclusive to a small group, meets regularly (twice a week for five weeks), creates a sense of accountability and motivation, and has an instructor who will cater the workout to your needs, then you may be interested in the Small Group Training program offered at UMW.
Campus Recreation is currently accepting registrations for the upcoming session of Small Group Yoga and Small Group Fitness Fusion that will run from Oct. 24 through Dec. 2 (excluding the week of Thanksgiving). These are not your typical group exercise classes, as this training program requires commitment via registration, the registered members are expected to show up to both weekly workouts, and it is limited to a small number of participants. Additionally, the instructor focuses on the needs and capabilities of your group, so no need to worry about your current fitness level. Read more about each of the small group programs below.
