WHAT WE BELIEVE

We are movers. We are motivators.
We are beginners. We are hardcore. We are everyday athletes.
We are more than a building. We are building a movement.
We are active. We are Badgers.

We believe playing hard is more about giving our all than it is about winning.
We believe getting fit is about being more confident in how we feel than in how we look.
We believe living well is not a destination but a journey to do what is best for our body, our mind, and our world.

We believe in the power of a team and the strength of a community.  We lift each other up with our words, our actions, and our attitudes.  We celebrate who we are, where we’re from, what we believe, and why we’re here. We root for every body.

We believe no matter what our goals are, we all have the right to chase them. Our learning goes beyond textbooks and exams, and our education is never over. Outside the classroom, we continue to find our passions, realize our purpose, and flex our potential. That’s where our ideas take shape and our dreams run free.

We believe our choices today become our habits tomorrow. We believe we have to push past our comfort zones to keep moving forward. We believe practice makes progress. And we believe in you.

We are University Recreation & Wellbeing.
