Exercise is Medicine Month |
This October, UHS, Rec Sports Facility (RSF), the Berkeley School of Public Health, and the Department of Physical Education are celebrating Exercise is Medicine month!
We're aiming to reduce barriers to physical activity, help students explore the many available programs on campus, and support student engagement in physical activities of their choice to improve their mental health, physical health, and wellbeing.
We're also offering "New to Fitness" classes! They're 10 minutes long and you get access to a personal trainer, health coach, and physical therapist afterwards to ask your questions!
