Welcome to Recreational Sports & Fitness! We can not wait to see all new and returning students here in the fitness centers, aquatics center, fitness programs and sports programs. No matter how you choose to stay active, we have something for you!

If you are a new student at American University, please take a moment to complete your online fitness center registration (found here) before your first visit. As long as you are enrolled in classes, there is no extra cost for you to activate your membership!

Group Exercise Classes are free for all AU students. Faculty, Staff, Affiliates and Community must purchase a semester pass to participate in classes. Please visit the Group Exercise page to see the class schedule and pass options. To participate, stop by Jacobs Fitness Center about 10 minutes before the start of the class and check-in at the front desk!

Looking for additional recreation events? We will be hosting two pop-up recreation events this Fall semester! On Sundays, join us for some Pickleball from 11am-2pm behind McKinley. On Wednesdays, join us on the Quad for yards games from 11am-2pm. Both these events will run weather permitting. Check out our Instagram for cancellations.
