1. Crush a Group RecXercise Class

From Pilates to kickboxing, RecXercise classes are a must-try. These high-energy sessions are perfect for getting that heart rate up and working fun into your fitness routine. With nearly 30 different classes throughout the week, the only bummer about adding Group RecXercise classes into your schedule is that you won’t have time to try them all!

2. Compete in an Intramural Sports Game

Find the Play Pass that works for you and join an intramural team this semester. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just looking for fun, intramural sports like flag football, basketball, or even real-life battleship (yep, that’s a real thing!) guarantee a great time. Bonus points if you win the coveted IM championship T-Shirt! Register today to secure your spot in popular leagues, and choose from a single-game, tournament, or unlimited Play Pass.

3. Build Strength and Confidence in the Weight Room

Rec Sports is home to three on-campus strength & conditioning facilities. Take advantage of the well-equipped weight rooms, which are free to access with your student ID, or level up with personal training sessions. Staff members are available to provide guidance on working out safely and effectively.

4. Dive into Aquatics

Hit the 50-meter or indoor lap pool for a cardio workout this semester. It’s a great way to build strength, increase speed, or set a new personal record. If you enjoy working out, make it a point to add swimming to the routine. It’s a full-body workout that engages all of your muscle groups, boosts heart health, and provides a great opportunity for cross-training. Check out the swim schedule on the Aquatics website.

5. Be the First to Try Aggie Performance

For the first time ever, Rec Sports Strength & Conditioning is hosting Aggie Performance, a small group training session designed to increase athletic performance. Be one of the first Aggies to develop your speed, agility, and power with turf movements, cardio, resistance training, and mental toughness. Register online and don’t miss this unique opportunity!

6. Conquer the Climbing Wall

Outdoor Adventures’ indoor climbing facility is calling your name! First-timers and experienced climbers alike are invited to scale the wall–a thrill you need to experience before you graduate. Try a free one-time climb or take a Belay Orientation class to learn the ropes (literally). Try as many routes as you can before construction begins on the tower this semester. That’s right, we’re getting a brand new rock wall. Stay tuned for more updates!

7. Find a Job you Love

8. Try a New Outdoor Adventure

From weekend hiking trips to canoeing on local lakes, Rec Sports’ Outdoor Adventures program offers unique ways to connect with nature across Texas. Rent camping gear for an affordable weekend getaway, or sign up for a Rec Sports trip to explore stunning state parks. This semester, Outdoor Adventure is heading to the Brazos River, Inks Lake, and Guadalupe National Park for weekend and extended trips.

10. Take a Lap Around the New-and-Improved Indoor Track

Over winter break, Rec Sports installed a completely new indoor track on the third floor of the Student Rec Center, featuring never-before-seen colored lanes. Jog in style on maroon and gray Mondo Super X track to experience the smoother, more durable surface. If you’ve never been upstairs in the Rec center, now is the perfect time!
