UK 101

Please take a moment to complete the intake form to best help the Campus Recreation Department coordinate your requested section. Once the request is received, a representative from the UKCR Administrative team will be in contact to schedule your session! Sessions are limited, so please submit request as soon as possible so that UKCR can work to coordinating your session.

Exercise Referral Program

This referral can happen in collaboration with POWER, TRACS, the UK Counseling Center, or University Health Services (UHS). Together, we’ll explore fitness program options that support their individual needs and goals.
