UCOP WorkFit - Spring 2011
It's not too late to register!
The Spring 2011 WorkFit regular session starts today, January 18. It's not too late to register and join your colleagues to get fit and reduce stress!
WorkFit has something for everyone and at every level. In fact, over half of all WorkFit participants had no previous formal exercise program! If you haven't tried it, now is the time!
Three membership options are offered for Spring. Note that all memberships are flexible allowing attendance at any class, anytime at either location:
- Full membership $50. (now through April 29)
- Half-Session #1 $30. (now through March 11)
- A second half-session membership (last half of the season) will be offered for $30. at a future date. Stay tuned to Link for the announcement.
- Family and friends (over age 18) can also join for the same low price!
To register, click on the appropriate below link. Choose your membership by selecting a primary location (Franklin or Kaiser) and the type of membership (Full or half session). Again, all memberships allow you to attend any class at any location without restriction.
Franklin Full Session through 04/29/2010
Franklin Half Session #1 through 03/11/2011
Kaiser Full Session through 04/29/2011
Kaiser Half Session #1 through 03/11/2011
Important notes regarding the registration process:
- The website is UC Berkeley's: it's a new website, new application, new database. If you have/had a CalNet account, you will still need to create a new account profile.
- List your affiliation as Community. When registering, your affiliation MUST be listed as Community. While this will prompt some additional activity including the need to accept the non-preferred pricing, not to worry as you will get the UCOP rate for this program.
- At the end of the registration and payment process, you will get a confirmation page and confirmation number. Print and retain a copy for your records.
- If you created a new account but did not pay or receive a confirmation page, you are not enrolled. Login into the registration website, use the orange search bar to find UCOP programs, select the program, add to cart and complete the registration process.
