During the COVID-19 pandemic, it can be challenging to find safe community activities. But at the CU Rec Center, CU community members can count on a weekly outlet for healthy activity: Free Friday Power Hour.听
Each Friday, the Rec Center offers this activity hour for students and other members of CU鈥檚 communities to safely participate in group fitness activities. Every week offers a different type of class, with options including cycling, hip-hop groove, fitness court HIIT and WERQ dance, pictured above.听
