University Recreation and UAB Employee Wellness are teaming up in June for the fourth annual Employee Wellness Appreciation Month, a month-long initiative focused on improving the health and lifestyle of UAB employees. This year, employees can get free access to the Campus Recreation Center throughout the entire month of June.
Online registration is required to access the facility, as well as access to additional health and wellness opportunities including rewards for checking in throughout the month:
- Check in at the Campus Recreation Center five days in June and earn 100 points in My Health Rewards.
- Check in 15 days in June and receive half off a one-month membership to the Campus Rec Center.
- Check in 20 days in June for a buy two, get one month free discount, plus a half locker for $15.
Registered participants are also invited to take part in weekly email workshops, events, challenges and more. Representatives from Employee Wellness will be onsite Wednesdays in June (campus closed Wednesday, June 19, for Juneteenth) from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with handouts, swag and the wheel of wellness.
“We are excited to once again collaborate with University Recreation for Employee Wellness Appreciation Month,” said Employee Wellness Manager Emily Davidson. “This initiative aims to boost our employees’ well-being by encouraging regular physical activity, which plays a vital role in promoting overall health.”
