Posted Tuesday, August 20, 2019 @ 3:23 PM If you were to ask any UCF student which facility on campus is most popular, many would immediately answer the RWC. Recently, UCF students were told major news about the RWC: a new facility would be opening at the UCF Downtown campus. Known as the RWC @ Downtown, students can now enjoy this popular facility in the heart of downtown Orlando. The downtown campus, which hosts a variety of majors such as Legal Studies and Digital Media, will offer plenty of opportunities for students to get involved in their community and advance their careers. The new facility, which opened just a couple of week ago, will also be hosting a range of events during the month of September and beyond. Some of these exciting events are outlined below: On September 5, there will be an F45 class, which combines strength and cardio exercises in an intense 45-minute class. On September 22, there will be Hiking and Yoga at Dickson Azalea Park. Come enjoy the great outdoors while staying fit. On September 24, there will be a Functional Fitness Demo that will incorporate different types of exercises into one. Additionally, the RWC on main campus will be hosting events throughout the semester. They offer group exercise classes, sports, and other unique events for students to enjoy. For example, Yoga Under the Stars will be taking place on September 10 from 9 PM to 10 PM on Memory Mall. If your Knights love to dance and swim, they can do both at Aqua Zumba on September 12 from 5 PM to 6 PM at the RWC Leisure Pool. Also, Knights can learn new fitness routines at the Know Your Numbers event on September 25 from 6 PM to 8 PM at the RWC basketball courts. Here, your student will be able to test different components of fitness and see what works best for them. If they are looking for something more long-term, the Fit Course will teach students to become group exercise leaders. This five-week course begins October 2 from 2 PM to 4 PM. Families can also join in on the fun when they come during Family Weekend later this month from September 27th to the 29th. During this weekend, parents of UCF students will have access to RWC facilities, which include the ones on main campus, Knights Plaza and the RWC @ Downtown. The RWC Family Pass will allow family members to work out with their children at any RWC location from Friday to Sunday. Guests must sign a waiver and show a valid government issued ID to participate. Also, the Family Day at Lake Claire will give families the opportunity to participate in activities including beach volleyball, soccer, corn hole, kayaking and more. This will run from 9 AM to 12 PM on Sunday. There will also be Yoga on the Beach at 9 AM. The Recreation and Wellness Center provides a multitude of opportunities that reinforces just how popular these facilities are. Get excited for the Fall semester! Back
