Getting and staying fit doesn’t have to be hard work. Whether your idea of fun is shooting some hoops with friends or spinning your (bike) wheels in a group fitness class, you’ll find an option that fits your lifestyle here.
Proof that getting active and staying healthy can be fun
Your Campus Recreation membership
Before you can participate in Campus Rec opportunities, you have to pay your membership fee. It’s $50 per semester—$30 in the summer— and gives you access to the Jaguar Campus Recreation facility in the Campus Center, the IU Natatorium, NIFS, and all intramural and club sports programs.
Students living in on-campus housing do not need to pay the membership fee, as it’s included in your housing fees. You simply need to activate your membership by filing out your waiver at rec.indianapolis.iu.edu.

If paying in person, you must bring your CrimsonCard for identification purposes regardless of payment method.
