Campus Recreation offers new membership discount for as little as $4 per month
Making time to exercise is easier said than done, yet it is a critical part of staying healthy and active.
As we enter the season of giving, the Campus Recreation Center (CRC) wants to make it easier for you to take the first step in doing something positive for yourself.
This November, the CRC is offering new members a discounted rate of $30/month for the first year. When UC benefits-eligible employees participate in the Rec Rewards program, they receive a reimbursement of $26.66/month, making the cost of the membership only $4 per month for the first year. This reimbursement occurs after members use the Campus Recreation facilities at least eight days per month.
All participants in the Rec Rewards program will be required to do an initial health assessment upon sign-up, and are encouraged to do a follow-up health assessment at 6 months to a year into the program.
All assessments are free and provided by Campus Recreation staff. Information collected during the health assessment will include: birth date, gender, exercise frequency, smoking status, height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, body fat percentage and Body Mass Index.
A Campus Recreation membership includes:
- Two facilities: the Campus Rec Center on main campus and the Fitness Center at CARE/Crawley on medical campus
- Free group fitness classes
- 50-meter x 25-yard lap pool
