GROUP EXERCISE
Become a Group Exercise Instructor! RecWell, in partnership with the VCU School of Education, offers a minor in Recreation and Wellness. Elective courses taught by RecWell staff like ACE Prep for Group Exercise provide students with the knowledge, skills and practice they need to obtain national certifications to work in a field that they love. Take a course in Fall 2024!
RecWell offers a variety of group exercise classes for all fitness levels which are FREE for all RecWell members! Classes are taught by trained student instructors and are held at Cary Street Gym, MCV Campus Recreation Center, and through virtual live streaming. Group Exercise classes at MCV are running!

Group Exercise No-Show Policy
Group Exercise class attendance is tracked. If you do not cancel your reservation on time and do not attend class, you will be marked as a “no-show.” Accumulating 3 "no-shows" will temporarily suspend your account from program registration.
To reverse suspension, a meeting with a Fitness & Wellness team member is required. No-shows for the Fall 2024 semester will be tracked from September 3rd to December 6th. No-shows will reset at the end of the semester.
