CSUSM students are offered a variety of free fitness classes and elite fitness classes at The Clark from Sept. 17 through Dec. 7.

Every semester, Campus Recreation and The Clarke team up to provide students with a variety of classes, including: Abs Blast, Ashtanga Yoga, Indoor Cycling, Jiu-Jitsu, Salsa, Total Fit, Zumba and several more.

The majority of these classes are taught by students who are certified instructors.

“Come try a class,” said Sonya Starr-Mclin, administrative coordinator of Campus Recreation. “They are fun and healthy for you. Plus they are free.”

Attending a class, or classes, can help spice up a students gym routine or can be a great way to get a routine started.

Classes are offered throughout the week on different days and at different times. All CSUSM students have free access to these classes.

For elite fitness training, Cougar Moves is a great option to tone muscles. Students can attend Rev Abs and Les Mills Pump classes on Oct. 23, Body Best and Rocking Body Nov. 27., and Les Mills Combat and Turbo Jam Dec. 10. These classes are also at The Clarke and free snacks are provided after class.

For fitness class selections, Campus Recreation will take student suggestions via email or through surveys occasionally passed out after class. Fitness class schedules can be found on The Clarke’s website www.csusm.edu/rec.
