Group Classes
Sometimes, it’s just more fun to play with other people. We offer daily group classes that will get your mind off your studies and your body into motion. From beginner stretch classes to Zumba and weight training to yoga, our fitness center offers a wide range of group classes.
New Intramural and Fitness Center
As part of the $12 Beacon Promise Capital Campaign, the construction of an $8.5 million, 28,000-square-foot Intramural and Fitness Center is critical to enhancing our students’ physical wellness and quality of life. While physical activity is important for all, it is especially important for Beacon College’s neurodivergent student population.
For students with learning differences, participation in fitness routines and exercise in group sports is critical for fostering and promoting self-confidence, focus, mental health, discipline, and social development.
