Bring the payroll deduction form and your current ISU ID card to the Recreational Sports office between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m 4.  We will make your ID card in the office. (It will take about 5 minutes, as we must warm up the laminator).

WHERE are classes held?

Most fitness classes are held in Room B93 in the HHS Building, also known as "the Arena". This is one of the dance rooms, in the south hall of the building. The women's locker rooms are just down the hall from this room, and across from the Athletic Equipment Check-Out room. (When classes overlap, classes may be held in B92, the dance room next door to B93).  

Water Walking and Water Aerobics are held in the Arena Pool, in the HHS (Health & Human Services) Building. You can access the pool from the men's and women's locker rooms. (Tricky design, don't ya think? Remember the old rule about having to take a shower before entering the pool? This is their attempt to make sure you do!)
