As a fellow dawg, you can take advantage of several fitness perks this summer. Break out a few dance moves in Cardio Party, balance your energy in Yoga, or practice your breaststroke in the pool. Since classes are offered throughout the day and evening, Monday through Friday, every retriever can be a believer and train to tackle the everyday stress of life.</p>
    <p>Classes are free with membership! Alumni can purchase a year-round membership for $250, or enjoy a 6-month, 3-month, or 1-month subscription at a discounted rate. Membership includes full access to all of the UMBC facilities, including recreational access to the pool (check out <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/recsports" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">the pool schedule</a>), as well as the use of locker rooms and lockers.
