  • Courts 3-6 will be closed all day Thursday, November 3 through Saturday, November 5.
  • Level 4, Courts 7-8, and Spark Studio will be closed all day on Friday, November 4. In addition, Momentum Studio will be closed starting at 9am through the end of the day and Elevation Studio will be closed at 1:30pm through the end.
Given these closures, there are also a handful of changes to the group fitness schedule: Friday, November 4
  • 4:00pm Zumba cancelled
  • 4:45pm Bags & Bells cancelled
  • 5:00 Yoga moved to Balance

We understand these closures may be inconvenient and appreciate your understanding and flexibility. While these spaces are unavailable, here are a few other places you can still play hard, get fit, and live well:
  • Courts 1 and 2 at the Nick will be available Thursday through Sunday for open rec basketball and open rec volleyball on Friday. Courts 7 and 8 will be available for open rec badminton and pickleball on Thursday and Sunday. There are also four courts at the Shell, which is located by Camp Randall Stadium.
