Brock University offers plenty of ways to stay active without signing on to anything competitive.
Many students believe that being active means competing and joining scheduled clubs, but that’s a misconception.
From intramurals and personal training to drop-in and beginner classes, enjoy your favourite activities without the pressure to perform for anyone except yourself.
Intramurals
Intramurals are perfect for pursuing your athletic passion without the commitment of a school team. Teams are available in men’s, women’s and coed formats throughout the fall, winter and spring semesters.
To enroll, present your valid Brock student ID card at the Walker Sports Complex Welcome Desk in the upper-level lobby. For a fee, you can join as an individual and be placed on a team or even create a team with your friends.
A wide variety of sports are offered every week from popular ones to new experiences. There’s even a league where you play a different sport each week with the excitement of a surprise each time.
Whether you were a superstar in high school or have never played a sport before there are opportunities for everyone to get involved. For popular sports, you can choose from different levels: Comp A for newcomers, Comp B for those with some experience, and Comp A for seasoned players. All you need to do is find the right fit for you and join the fun.
If playing in a league is not your style, don’t worry, there are other ways to stay active without the competitive edge.
Personal training
If you want to hit the gym but feel held back by your routine or lack of knowledge about gym equipment, don’t let that stop you. Brock University offers personal training for students to help you get started and make the most of your workouts.
Personal training is available in various formats with different fees to suit students’ needs.
A two-person course offers either ten or sixteen sessions. This format allows you and a workout partner to train together under the guidance of a personal trainer.
Individual training packages are available in options of sixteen, ten, five or three sessions. This format provides one-on-one sessions with a trainer focused solely on your needs.
Personal training is a fantastic way to establish a healthy routine. You’ll receive a professionally crafted schedule customized to your preferred pace and goals.
Beginner classes
Brock University offers many beginner fitness classes from Sept. 30 to Nov. 28.
Fitness class programs will have either five or eight sessions.
Classes are fun and engaging for all kinds of participants. You can join the interactive Glow Zumba or try the hybrid Yogalates.
To explore different classes without the commitment, take advantage of “Try It Free Week,” offering free drop-in trial classes from Sept. 23 to 26.
These beginner classes are a fantastic way to kick off your school year. They provide something to look forward to and help promote a positive attitude towards your workouts.
