The DSC funds a variety of fitness classes, held at the GC, so that they’re completely FREE for students! The classes are facilitated by the Student Affairs office and all sign-up and administration is done through them.

Classes include Pilates, Hatha Yoga, and Intermediate Yoga (see descriptions, below). Registration is required before the first class for all classes (see schedule, below). Please register early to ensure your space—first come, first served.  Students may register for up to two classes per six week session. When a class is full, students may opt to go on a waiting list. Students who miss more than two classes will have their registration terminated.

Registration for the first half of the spring semester will begin at 10:00 am on Friday, January 20.  Students may register at this site beginning at 10 am on January 20: http://webapps.gc.cuny.edu/workshops/sa/.  Please note, if you are logging into this registration site for the first time you must create a new account.

Fitness equipment is provided.

Faculty, Staff and Community Members should register at the Student Affairs office, room 7301. Payment is required at time of registration for Faculty, Staff and Community Members and a $10 registration fee is applicable each semester.
