FAQs
Group Fitness Classes
Are group fitness classes included with Campus Recreation membership?
How do I register for a particular Fitness Class?
A few of our group fitness classes require registration rather than a Punch Card. These include Pilates Reformer and Active for Life. Registration can be done at the Fitness & Recreation Center front desk or on our online portal.
Some "Punch Card" classes may ask that you sign up for a particular session at the FRC front desk. This happens when there is limited space or equipment, and high demand. The current group fitness class schedule will highlight which classes have sign-ups at the front desk.
For all other "Punch Card" or free classes, you do not need to register, they are first come first serve. Please arrive about 5 minutes early to check in, secure your spot, and set up any equipment.
How often does the Fitness Class schedule change?
How early should I arrive to class?
Which classes do you recommend for individuals who haven't exercised for awhile or are new to exercise?
We offer "intro" Yoga and Pilates classes which are always a great place to start. Also, cycling classes are good for the novice exerciser because the resistance is self-selected. Any time you attend a class for the first time, please arrive 10 minutes early and tell the instructor so they can address any questions you may have.
Do I need special shoes for the Cycling classes?
Do I need to bring my own mat to a Yoga or Pilates class?
Personal Training Services
I am new to exercise and don't know where to begin. Do you have any suggestions?
The fitness staff offers one-time consultations for a small fee, or more comprehensive Personal Training session packages. With these you get personalized information regarding your specific needs and fitness goals. You can also attend a free equipment orientation where you will learn how to use all the weight training and cardio equipment properly. You can sign up for either of these services at the Fitness & Recreation Center front desk.
How do I start working with a Personal Trainer?
We have a staff of Personal Trainers that are ready to work with you! When you are ready to begin, class 406-243-2833 or stop at the front desk of the Fitness & Recreation Center to schedule an initial appointment.
