Where to purchase a Group Fitness Pass

Group fitness passes may be purchased at activeflyers.udayton.edu or the RecPlex Welcome Desk. Single-class registrations can be purchased in person at the Welcome Desk within 72 hours of the class. Classes may fill quickly; we recommend registering when the registration window opens 72 hours before the class. All passes provide access to group fitness classes for the current semester only; they do not carry over.

Options include:

• Single class (purchase in person): $6
• Semester All-Access: $60

• Participants should arrive at least 10 minutes before class. You must present your University of Dayton ID or Campus Recreation membership card to the instructor.
• You must pre-register through activeflyers.udayton.edu in order to save your spot in a desired class.
• Class registration opens 72 hours prior to the class.
• Group fitness classes are designed for all fitness levels. Our instructors will provide modifications to accommodate all. Before class, please let your instructor know if you have injuries, special needs or questions, so they can provide modifications.
• When not in use for programming purposes, Studios A and B are unavailable for general recreation. Please visit Studio C during non-programming times for open studio space.
• For questions or more information, contact udcrgroupfitness@udayton.edu or 937-229-2705.

At UD, our Commitment to Community means acting with respect and responsibility. When you reserve a class spot, you hold a space a fellow Flyer could use. If you can't make it, please release your spot so another participant has the opportunity to support their wellbeing.

• Cancel 1+ Hour Early: If you can't make it, cancel at least 1 hour before class so another participant can utilize your spot.
• Late Cancels & No-Shows: Failing to cancel on time or missing class results in a strike.
• The Consequences: Accumulating multiple strikes may result in:
  1. A temporary suspension of your booking privileges.
  2. In persistent cases, a temporary loss of RecPlex facility access.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our fitness community fair and accessible for everyone!

All personal trainers are certified by a nationally accredited program. They are also Red Cross CPR, AED, and First Aid certified. Training will be developed to the needs, desires and goals of the client. Clients will have the choice of training frequency and location (private fitness studio, Stuart Field, RecPlex fitness center, etc.).

This program does not involve session or duration contracts of any kind. Once a personal trainer is assigned to a client, they will schedule a fitness assessment and consultation. During the consultation, the client(s) will complete health history forms for medical clearance.

To participate in UD Campus Recreation personal training, each participant must complete a physical activity readiness questionnaire and general health screening. After completing these forms, the trainer may request a physician's clearance be completed prior to participating in an exercise program.
