Ready to shake things up this semester? Say hello to Around the Rec, Rec Well’s hottest new program that’s all about fun, fitness, and getting the most out of your time on campus. This isn’t your average wellness program—it’s a chance to dive headfirst into a whirlwind of activities that’ll have you smiling, sweating, and feeling fantastic.
Why You’re Going to Love This
Picture this: you’re hanging out with friends at Bakke, catching waves (okay, maybe just some laps) at the Soderho
lm Family Aquatic Center, or trying out log rolling at the Cove Pool for the first time. Now, imagine doing all that and more while working toward prizes like a limited-edition crewneck sweatshirt or a sleek Nalgene water bottle.
Around the Rec is your golden ticket to exploring everything Rec Well has to offer. Whether you’re swinging by for a drop-in wellness coaching session, hitting up a group fitness class, or getting your skate on at a theme skate night, all of our Flexes are designed to introduce you to new things you didn’t know were options at Rec Well facilities. Imagine looking back on this semester and realizing you not only had a blast but also dedicated time to support your physical, mental, and social wellbeing. That’s the magic of Around the Rec.
Flex Your Fun Muscles
Choose your own adventure. Want to climb at Mt. Mendota? Go for it! Prefer to join a cooking class or show off your skills in intramural sports? The options are endless, and each one is a chance to connect with other students and take care of your wellbeing at the same time.
And the best part? The more you do, the more you earn. It’s not just about staying active—it’s about having a great time while doing it. Plus, who wouldn’t want to show off their limited-edition Rec Well swag?
