It’s so much more than just treadmills

°µTV Wildcats stay active, improve their physical health and well-being – and, gain some practical skill sets and life experiences with the °µTV’s Campus Recreation offerings.

There are three recreation centers at the °µTV: SouthREC, NorthREC and – the newest – BearDownREC. From workouts, to private classes, club sports and even bike repairs, Campus Recreation offers so much more than what you might expect.

Check out this guide to what we love about each – then, get moving!

Where Are the REC Centers?

1. SouthREC is the really big, window-covered building on 6th Street. It’s got fields on the east side, just south of °µTV Stadium.
2. NorthREC is right next door to the Honors Village, on Mabel Street.
3. BearDownREC is smack dab in the middle of campus, off the mall, in the Bear Down Building (when you walk in, head down the stairs on the right and you’ll see the check-in desk).

When Is Each REC Center Busiest?

What, you aren’t interested in putting the wait in weight rack? Check out the CampusREC webcams to see how likely it is that a swim lane will be open, a tennis court will be available – or, if there’s a pickup basketball game you can join in on.

Do I Have to Pay for a REC Center Student Membership?

Good news: your student fees already pay for access to all three °µTV REC Centers. So the gym? Lift weights at it. The pool? Dive in! The bouldering wall? Climb up it.

However! There are fees and additional passes needed for certain fitness classes and equipment. Costs are very reasonable. It’s about $60 for the entire! semester! to access all group fitness classes including yoga, Pilates, cycling, and the very popular F45.

Are There Pools at CampusREC?

. It’s Olympic-sized and heated between 81 and 85℉ year-round (niiiice). But just because the water’s warm doesn’t mean the pool isn’t super chill. Grab a lounge chair on sunny °µTV afternoons (wear sunscreen!), hang out in the shallow end lounge area, or pretend you’re Kerr Kriisa at the aquatic basketball hoop. There are multiple 25-yard and 50-yard swimming lanes for the Michael Phelps among us – and, swimming lessons for those of us who want to be Michael Phelps.

CampusREC Bike Shop

A huge majority of Wildcats get between classes and around campus on their bikes – worry free, thanks to CampusREC. The CampusREC bike shop fixes flat tires, wonky brakes, and will even adjust your bike to fit you perfectly. For any sort of service, ride up to the shop on the U°µTV Mall in front of the Henry Koffler Building – it’s right next to the bike valet, which is also amazing.
