University Recreation and Wellness
Challenge yourself with one of our group fitness classes, or through a personal training session. Take a lap in the Aquatics Center pools or relax in the resort-style SoVi Pool. Compete in intramural sport leagues or join a sport club to get more involved. Students can even take out a sailboat or paddleboard on the lake - or take a ride on the Heyday wakeboat for free! URecWell also promotes holistic wellness through peer wellness coaching, therapy dogs, victim advocacy, and education on alcohol, cannabis, mental health, and sexual health.
