Athletics & Fitness
Each year the National Girls & Women in Sports (NGWSD) celebration hosts athletic and fitness events that celebrate women's bodies as strong, resilient instruments of physical fitness and performance. Check out some of our previous events below.
Socially-Distanced Faculty & Staff Cycling Class
This all-levels indoor cycling class was open to ALL employees and graduate students! If you missed playing sports when you were young, this was your opportunity to get back into the habit of being active. If you've never played sports or worked out before, this class was also for you! When we say open to all, we mean it!
We cycled for 30 minutes of sweaty, socially-distant fun as we rode to the tunes of great women artists.
Rowan Moves
We offered a FREE six-week Rowan MOVES Movement Challenge! We know that getting up and moving can help us feel good and help to elevate our physical health. What better way to jump start your activity than to join your fell Profs and earn some prizes along the way? Walk, jog, run, or bike each week to earn small prizes (water bottles, sunglasses, etc.), plus a chance to win one of our grand prizes! Each week we sent a new challenge and some motivation to keep you moving!

Women on Weights
Participants learned about the benefits of weight training
Community members joined Campus Recreation's personal trainers to learn the benefits of adding weight lifting and resistance training to your fitness routine. Participants learned fundamental movements and techniques to prepare for strength training.
