HR Wellness Announces Updated Sessions for Free Wellness Programs

HR Wellness will continue to offer two wellness programs for employees in 2025: 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 can 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 2025 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. Classes will be available once a month except for February when there will be two classes. One of the two February classes will be on Tuesday, Feb. 11, an NC State-designated wellness day.

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.
