HR Wellness will launch two free wellness programs for employees in August: Employee Wellness Wednesdays is a series of in-person fitness classes, and Flourish Fridays is a series of wellness activities employees can participate in virtually.
Employee Wellness Wednesdays
Employee Wellness Wednesdays is a collaboration between HR Wellness and the Wellness and Recreation Center. Employees will be able to take a variety of fitness classes, including yoga, cardio dance and strength training. The classes will be available at the center. Class times will vary.
All of the classes that will be available in 2024 are on the Wellness and Recreation Center website. To participate in a class, you must register on the site, and if you are not a Wellness and Recreation member, bring your employee ID to the Wellness and Recreation Center on the day you plan to attend a class.
Registration for each class will open four weeks before the class date. Registration for the first class, which will be Aug. 21 from 7 to 7:45 a.m., is available.
All classes will be on Wednesdays except for a class that will be on Tuesday, Sept. 17, an NC State-designated wellness day.
Organizers plan to announce the 2025 class schedule in November 2024 or January 2025.
Flourish Fridays
Flourish Fridays will take place once a month on Fridays. To participate in the instructor-led virtual activities, you must complete this registration form and waiver. Registrants will receive a link that will give them access to the sessions. The list of activities available through November is below.
