The first day of spring, March 21, 2026, marked the official start of the season, and with it came melting snow, shining sun, and the perfect opportunity to kick off some new fitness habits!

As the weather warms up, embrace the season of renewal not just for nature, but for your bodies, too.

Here is a friendly reminder that the university’s gym and pool facilities are free for all students and alumni, so why not take full advantage of these resources? With just a few weeks left in the semester, now is the time to use what’s available to you. Whether it’s swimming laps or hitting the weights, these fitness options are waiting for you.

In addition to indoor workouts, the changing weather offers a great excuse to get outside. The trails are opening up, and with the temperature rising, it’s a perfect time to go for a walk or hike.

Pressed for time? That is okay. Simply going for a walk around campus offers healthy benefits to the mind and body.

Spring is a season of fresh beginnings, and what better way to celebrate than by getting active? By adding fitness into your routine, you’ll feel energized and refreshed. As well as that, you will be ready to finish the semester strong, both mentally and physically.
