A variety of Group Exercise classes are offered at both the Malkin

include step, pilates, muscle conditioning, aqua aerobics,
kickboxing, yoga, and many more. Classes are offered during the
fall, spring and summer semesters. Reduced schedules are offered in
January and June. Classes are not progressive, so beginners
can drop in at any time during the semester. You do not need to
sign up for specific classes, but can try out several classes or
attend various classes as your schedule and mood changes.

How do I participate in Harvard's Group Exercise
Classes?
Staff & Faculty: In order to attend Group
Exercise classes, you must first have a recreational membership. In
addition to your annual or seasonal membership, you will be given
the option of four add ons: towel service, class access,
squash membership and tennis membership. In the past, class access
has been processed in person at the MAC and Hemenway, whereas this
year it must be processed in addition to your membership online or
in person in the Ticket Office in the Murr Center when the
membership is purchased. Your ID will be activated with the
add on information as soon as the purchase is complete. Please note
that purchasing class access does not give you facility access.
Membership must be purchased separate online or at the ticket
office 617-495-2211.
Attention Students: Group Exercise Class Access
is included in your facility membership free of charge during the
academic year. All affiliations must pay for classes in the summer.
You must activate your class access attending classes.
Students who fail to activate class access online must pay the
$10.00 drop in fee per class.
Please take the following steps:
1. Go to the online membership system through
gocrimson.com.
Select "Purchase Membership" from the Recreation menu. There is a
link to the online membership system from that page. Or, the direct
link to the membership system is
https://www.athletics.harvard.edu/membership/
2. Log in with your HUID and pin.
3. Under purchase options, select the class access option and
submit. Select class access for the academic year or for a single
term (Fall/Spring).
4. Next you will be given the option to join the mailing lists.
After deciding if you would like to be added to the mailing list
you must submit this page in order to complete your order. Your
card will be automatically updated with class access.
What if I just want to try one group exercise class? You can
try a group exercise class by paying a $10.00 drop in fee. Choose
the class you would like to try and complete the drop in form at
the front desk. There is no limit on the number of times you can
purchase the drop in fee. **You must have purchased the
recreational membership first in order to pay the drop in fee for a
class.**
