Ok so as every UConn student and alum knows… the gym is shabby and about 10000000 years old. However, they have the most amazing fitness classes a gal could dream up. http://recreation.uconn.edu/bodywise/
From yoga to kickboxing to spin the instructors are top notch, enthusiastic and nurturing. They always help you work at your own pace while also encouraging you to challenge yourself. I can't believe I get all this included in my employee membership for $23 a month. Yes I have to work out with kids 10-15 years younger than me, but once I get past feeling old, I thank my lucky stars for the opportunity to really look forward to exercise each day. I also know how important it is to have a healthy outlet as a college student and after being at another school (not named to protect the guilty) which had a gorgeous shimmering new gym, but charged 50+ a semester for their classes on top of the already expensive gym fees - I say go UConn! Way to encourage the health of your school without breaking our fragile little piggy banks. Fitness shouldn't only be for the rich and pretty.
