During the COVID-19 pandemic, it can be challenging to find safe community activities. But at the CU Rec Center, CU community members can count on a weekly outlet for healthy activity: Free Friday Power Hour.
Each Friday, the Rec Center offers this activity hour for students and other members of CU’s communities to safely participate in group fitness activities. Every week offers a different type of class, with options including cycling, hip-hop groove, fitness court HIIT and WERQ dance, pictured above.
In a time when feelings of stress, anxiety and isolation are higher than ever, many find that the group classes at the Rec Center can help, as they offer both COVID-safe socialization and a boost of endorphins from the exercise. The CU Healthy Buffs program notes on their Instagram (@cuhealthybuffs) that one student participant called Free Friday Power Hour “the perfect way to let off the steam of the quiz I didn’t do so hot on, and let’s me go into the weekend feeling fresh.”
