Virtual Group Fitness

Simply put, VIRTUAL streams a workout from a projector and plays on a big screen.

Sometimes life gets busy. Attending your favorite live, group-instructor led class may be a challenge as commitments or exams pile up.  Fitting a workout in to relieve stress is important. We understand… No worries! Check out the VIRTUAL class offerings and keep you on track with your personal schedule and fitness goals.

Note: VIRTUAL classes are still classes that begin at scheduled times daily; however, due to their nature of not being instructor-led, we are able to offer them more frequently. This is what makes them so flexible with busy schedules!

• WFU undergraduates
• WFU graduates who obtain a WF Wellbeing Center membership
• WFU F/S who purchase a group fitness pass

Listen to your body, workout at your level and use gravity as your equipment option. The offerings listed below do not require equipment:

• BODYCOMBAT (karate, mauy tai, kickbox based class)
• BODYFLOW (tai chi, yoga, pilates based class)
• SH’BAM (dance class)

The offerings listed below do require equipment:

BODYPUMP (strength training class)

• 1 barbell
• weight plates (2 large; 2 medium, 2 small)
• 2 clips (used to hold plates on the bar)
• 1 smartbench
• 2-4 risers placed under the bench for height

CXWORX

• 1 mat (gray side facing up)
• 1 smartband
• 1 large or 1 medium weight plate

RPM

• BodyBike *requiring bike fit assistance w/ staff prior to riding
• Require tennis shoes OR cycle shoes with SPD clip
• Request YOU BRING 1 hand towel for personal use
• Request YOU BRING 1 water bottle for personal use (no other drinks permitted in the studio)

Yes. Prior to the start of class, Fitness Supervisors will assist by providing

• a quick ‘bike fit’ set up
• how to adjust the bike settings
• what to do IF…
• House Rules

We want you to be successful before, during and after your workout.  We also need you to be safe!  A personal ‘bike-fit’ allows you to setup the bike specific to your leg length, torso length and arm length.

Two studios provide VIRTUAL classes.

Cycle Studio-B251

• RPM (cycle) only

Group Fitness Studio-B201

• BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, BODYFLOW, CXWORX, SH’BAM

Bring your ID

• We ask that you scan your WFU ID upon entry to the studio

Bring a personal Waterbottle

• We do not have water in the studios (nor do we allow for any drinks other than water in studios)

Bring a personal Hand towel

• Depending on your outlook, participants have been known to “sweat OR glisten“

For the Cycle studio, staff will

• meet you 10 minutes prior to the start of class
• open the studio allowing entry
• have you scan in using your Wake ID

For the Group Fitness studio,

• you can enter the studio 10 minutes prior to class *Remember, if the class requires equipment, you need to arrive and set up quickly
• we ask that you use your Wake ID and scan in prior to class

Periodically throughout the workout, staff might peek in.  No worries, they are merely checking to see all is well.

At the end of class,

• CLEAN ANY/ALL EQUIPMENT USED
• Return all equipment to it’s proper place
• Take all belongings with you (as it will be locked after class)

Fitness Supervisors may request you return all equipment and gather personal belongings before locking the studio.  Help them out, be proactive!

Although cinema like with the big screen… we don’t show any movie previews!  The time listed on the group fitness schedule displays is the actual start time.  Arrive 10 minutes prior to class (late entry will not be provided for any cycle class).

Similar to a movie theater requesting all to refrain from talking, late entry is disruptive to others working out, set up and in their zone. We ask for fitness etiquette and respect of others workout space whether Live class or VIRTUAL.

Use of studios during VIRTUAL scheduled class times is for just that… a VIRTUAL class experience.  Studio equipment and space is designed for participants to experience VIRTUAL classes only. Anything else would not be permitted resulting in possible facility suspension.
