GRYPH GUIDE | Fall 2017 – Winter 2018

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR On behalf of the Department of Athletics, here at the University of Guelph, I would like to welcome you. 2017-18 will mark our first full year in the our new Athletics Centre and we cannot thank our students enough for making this facility a reality for the past, present and future.

Our new NRG Pass was a huge success last year, more than tripling the student body being active in our facility.

This pass includes Fitness Centre access as well as Group Fitness, TRX ÂŽ, Yoga, Pilates, Group Cycle, and Boot Camp Classes. We have something for every level of skill and ability, including individual recreation, group fitness, aquatics, instructional, drop-in, learn to play, team sports, so come out and try something new.

I hope you enjoy what we have to offer this year, you are among one of the most active campuses in Canada. I strongly encourage each and every one of you to take part in one of our many programs and try something new.

If any member of our staff can be of assistance to furthering your experience, please do not hesitate to contact one of us. I wish you much success in the classroom and for a healthy and enjoyable year.

Sincerely,

Scott McRoberts Director, Department of Athletics
