Group Fitness Sign ups
Group Fitness
Group fitness is an interactive way to get in a great workout in a group setting. Group Fitness helps you stay accountable to your goals and allows you to build relationships on campus. Group fitness instructors will provide a fun and faith-focused workout while educating students about wellness in a safe environment. Students and employees are free. This is included in tuition/benefits. Nonmembers pay $10 and nonmember alumni pay $5 per class.
Updated schedules will be posted to our instagram @lucampusrec.
Fitness Consultation
Currently, we do not have a personal trainer on staff, but the Director and/or Assistant Director of Campus Recreation and Wellness are here to meet with you to assess what your fitness needs are and to give you resources on how to achieve them.
Email campusrecreation [at] lipscomb.edu (campusrecreation[at]lipscomb[dot]edu) for more information. Assessments are by appointment only.
Fitness Equipment Orientation
Learn and perfect your workout routine with proper instruction on how to use fitness equipment at the Student Activity Center.
Resistance Training Level 1
This is our traditional orientation in which a staff member will guide you through how to properly use 11 selectorized weight training equipment. This is perfect for beginners who are new to resistance training.
Resistance Training Level 2
This option will show you the more challenging exercises that can be performed with the equipment in the weight room. A great way to learn how to creatively challenge yourself. All fitness levels are welcome.
Cardio Training
Are you stuck doing the same cardio routine every time you workout or want to learn new cardio strategies? There are many different cardio machines available in the SAC that you can learn how to use. This includes the treadmill, elliptical, Spinner, rower, stairs and bikes (located on track), and more.
Please email campusrecreation [at] lipscomb.edu and make an appointment for any of these trainings. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Patrons who carelessly drop weights and have been asked more than once to stop dropping weights will be asked to leave the weight room. If you are performing dead lifts, please do not bang the weights on the floor.
