Fitness is something we should all make time for, and UFV thinks so too. Have you ever walked out of the library and seen people doing yoga? Or heard a catchy beat vibrating the walls while you were sitting in AfterMath or walking by the gym? Join in! These classes are available to all students for free.
I know a lot of us would rather take a nap or grab some lunch, but these classes are a great way to get active between classes or break up your day.
I attended a Zumba class on Tuesday and was extremely worried about my lack of dance moves, but everyone around me was having a blast and moving without inhibition to great music. The instructor was amazing and, at the end of the class, recognized I was new and complimented my efforts.
There are people of all levels of fitness and ages participating in these classes, and there are scaled moves for new attendees. These classes are here to benefit students and faculty, and it would be great to get more people involved and working on their fitness in a fun (and free) way!
There is a schedule on the UFV website for all the available classes, which include yoga and Pilates. All you have to do is click on the Human Resources link on the homepage, and under Health & Wellness there is another link that will direct you to all the fitness classes UFV has to offer for both Abbotsford and Chilliwack campuses.
Try a class out and have some fun! Maybe you’ll even see me there!
