Community Service
Currently we are not offering group exercise classes for Summer 2021. We will re-evaluate late summer for our potential Fall 2021 group exercise class offerings.
It is our pleasure to offer classes and programs that provide you and your family with opportunities to learn, grow, and develop. Community Service class offerings enable you to improve the quality of your life through lifelong learning.
This program of fee-based classes is designed to serve individuals with physical or personal goals that do not require college credit. You do not need to be a credit student and there is no application process. There are no transcripts or grades and classes are available to anyone who registers with us. Many classes are offered in response to a specific population's expressed interest or need. Swimnastics, aquarobics, body shaping, weight training, and full body flexibility are among the community service classes offered by the college.
To register, visit https://westshore.asapconnected.com/default.aspx and select Community Service Classes At The Rec Center on the left side. Then select Aqua Classes or Fitness Classes. Your enrollment fees keep this valuable program going. Thank you!
Credited Courses
During the fall and winter semesters, students may enroll in Aerobic Conditioning & Weight Training (PED 100) and receive one credit. The class consists of a four-month program in the Wellness Center and is designed to improve total fitness. Students will be responsible for scheduling a 2.5 hour group orientation session with a Recreation Center staff member. The orientation includes health and fitness assessments, a demonstration on the exercise equipment and development of an individualized exercise program. Following the orientation, students will meet course requirements through an open schedule. The class may be elected two times for a total of two credits.
