Group Fitness Classes at StFX

Did you know if you are a student at StFX you can get 30 group fitness classes for only 30 dollars plus tax?  XREC’s group fitness classes are a great way to stay active, meet new people, and try something new! There are several classes to choose from, offered almost every day of the week. 

As many students probably already know, the Keating and Saputo centers are under some major renovations. Next year, students can look forward to some significant upgrades. Adam Grimmitt, the StFX Fitness Centre Coordinator, said that when renovations are finished, students can look forward to new group fitness class spaces, a wider variety of classes, as well as a spin room! Until then, there are still a ton of classes from which to choose. Ranging from yoga to cardio, there’s something for everyone!
