Fitness Classes

Fitness classes are available to students and employees who are interested in convenient, reasonable workouts taught by experienced instructors. The classes may vary from semester to semester. Unless otherwise stated, the cost for classes is as follows:

All fitness classes begin the week of January 23 and run for six weeks. Your $20 registration ($25 for Non-Franciscan Village participants) for one class allows you to attend as many classes as you want (except spin; only the first six registrants in each spin class can attend those classes due to limited bikes). So, for only twenty dollars you can take multiple classes every week! A minimum of six paid registrants are required per class.  Less than six by the second week will cancel the class. Contact Lisa Binkowski, Director of Recreation Programs, for more information.  (419) 517-8870, or lbinkowski@lourdes.edu

Full payment for each class is due prior to the first day of class. Payments can be made in MOT 4, office 110. Lourdes ID is required.
