Take a look at the Group Fitness Schedule to find the classes you’re interested in. The schedule is subject throughout the semester based on attendance and instructor availability.

Register for a class up to 48 hours in advance to guarantee your spot. If you see a message that “There are no instances available at this time,” then there is no class scheduled for this date or you are outside of the 48-hour registration window.

  • Please arrive at least 5 minutes before class start time to check in and prepare for your class. Participants on the standby list will be allowed to enter 5 minutes prior to the start time, and they may take the place of registered participants who have not checked in yet.

 

If you see this error message when trying to register for a class, you can follow the steps below.

On an iPhone, go to SETTINGS > PRIVACY > TRACKING > and turn on “Allow Apps to Request to Track”

Back in the TCU Rec app, you should now be able to allow the app to track. Once you allow the app to track, clicking on the “REGISTER” button will automatically take you to the class registration page on the mycampusrec.tcu.edu website.

Who can participate in group fitness classes?

Group Fitness is completely free for students. Non-student Rec members must purchase the Group Fitness Pass. Each class is led by a certified group fitness instructor.

This program offers enough options and is well suited for participants who want to make group fitness classes their main source of physical activity. However, classes are also a convenient and affordable option for those looking to complement their main fitness activities.

All levels of experience are welcome, and our instructors can modify exercises to scale back or ramp up the difficulty based on your needs.

 

How much does it cost?

FREE for TCU Students – register for any group fitness class through the Campus Rec app or website (mycampusrec.tcu.edu)

A group fitness pass (additional membership) is required to attend classes for non-student members. You can purchase a pass in the Campus Rec Office, at the Member Services Desk, or through the online portal.

Semester Pass = $90 – Good for unlimited classes during the semester of purchase

When do classes take place?

Where are classes held?

Most classes are held in one of our 3 multi-purpose rooms located in the main lobby of the Rec Center (MP1) or downstairs in the basement level of the building (MP2 and Cycle Studio). Some classes will beheld outdoors at various locations on campus, and the location will be indicated when you register for a spot in the class. If the weather does not permit an outdoor class a notification will be sent to those participants who are registered.
