"My knees had been bothering me for several years. I was out of shape, overweight, and was very concerned about possible complications from surgery. I decided to try the Sunrise SPIN class and loved it. I gained strength overall and became a healthier eater. I found I had bone-on-bone knees about a year later. It was time for replacement surgery, and I was ready! I came out of surgery strong and ready for physical therapy and couldn't wait to get back to SPIN. I have to take it easier now since I'm still recovering, but it feels so good being active and knowing that I am helping my healing process. The weather is good, and I'll begin riding my bike to work!

I participate in Campus Rec programs and services because they offer a variety of times, they are not expensive, and I feel so much better after a workout! I have been able to meet people from other areas of campus and developed new friendships through my involvement with Campus Rec. I feel great when I arrive to work for the day and it's great that I am allowed time out of my work schedule to participate in exercise classes at Campus Rec."
