Group Exercise

The Group Exercise (GX) program provides energy, variety, challenges, benefits and fun to help you stay fit and healthy. After purchasing a GX Pass you may enjoy all that GX has to offer for that semester.  With approximately 85 classes per week and a variety of special events, you are sure to find something to satisfy your personal goals and needs. Instructors are nationally certified and/or have completed the in-house instructor training program. 
All USC students, faculty and staff are encouraged to join the group.

Free Classes in August
During the month of August, USC students, faculty and staff can experience scheduled GX classes at no extra charge. Beginning September 1st, all participants must present a Fall 2008 GX pass in order to gain entrance.
Fall 2008 GX Pass - $20

GX Passes can be purchased at the Strom Thurmond Wellness & Fitness Center or Solomon Blatt Physical Education Center Business Office:  Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm (cash, check, or Carolina Cash).  You can also purchase a pass before any GX class (cash or check only), but please arrive early if you choose this option as the GX staff cannot assist you once class is in session.

You will need to 1) present a valid USC-Columbia ID card, 2) review and sign the waiver of liability & release, 3) pay $20 fee.

Fall 2008 GX passes are valid August 18 - December 21, 2008.
