TRY THE ARC: The Activities and Recreation Center announced its Fall Try Before You Buy event, Sept. 22-Oct. 3. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, retirees and student affiliates can enjoy complimentary group fitness classes, including dance and martial arts, and a comprehensive range of equipment and resources at the ARC. Capacity for some group exercise classes is limited; access is on a space-available basis.

Current °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ students always have access to the ARC at no charge. °ÅÀÖÊÓƵ faculty, staff, alumni, retirees, and affiliates may purchase a monthly, quarterly, or annual ARC membership. Current university employees may enjoy the ARC for less than $1 per day by enrolling in the ARC's payroll deduction option of $28.33 each month for an annual membership. ARC members also enjoy discounts on other Campus Recreation programming, including the Craft Center, Outdoor Adventures, and Equestrian Center.

ACTIVE AGGIES: Staff members are invited to join Active Aggies, a group scheduled to meet after work three times weekly during the fall quarter for walking, jogging and running, plus training and nutrition tips.

Team training like this is a great way to motivate yourself to exercise, said Active Aggies organizer Bob Wachter, injury prevention specialist on the Davis campus. And you can go at your own pace, he said.

°ÅÀÖÊÓƵ Sports Medicine interns will lead the training.

Active Aggies sessions are scheduled from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday starting Sept. 23.

The cost is $30 for the quarter, with participants eligible to compete for $500 in prizes -- for Active Aggies only -- in the Davis Turkey Trot, Nov. 22.

Meeting place is the southwest side of Toomey Field, just north of the North Entry garage.
