Programme prescription
If you have a specific goal in mind or you're training for a particular event, the programme prescription allows you to work with one of our trainers to create (or alter) a programme that is tailored to your goals.
You will have an initial consult to detemine your goals, then a follow up session to explain and demonstrate the programme they have created for you.
Cost: $40 per programme.
Returning to exercise safely post Covid-19
When you have been unwell with Covid-19, and have not been exercising or limited with your movement, your body can easily fatigue. Exercising at a high intensity too soon may prolong your recovery or heighten symptoms.
It is important that you return to exercise safely. We recommend that people returning to exercise at Uni Rec start slowly, at a lower intensity and gradually build. Listen to your body and remember to treat it kindly.
See the University Recreation return to exercise safely document for more information.
