The UNM Health Sciences Wellness Program offers a variety of low-cost fitness classes on campus throughout the year. Whether you’re looking for high-intensity cardio sessions, an opportunity to improve your flexibility or practice mental wellness, we have a class for you.
Social wellness is an important part of overall well-being, and the UNM Health Sciences Wellness Program offers multiple events each year that bring together staff, faculty and students to participate in fun, healthy activities.
The UNM Health Sciences campus has places where you can squeeze in some exercise time and recharge your mobile device. Rock the Bike recharging stations are equipped with adjustable stationary bikes that have workspace and chargers for up to eight phones.
The stationary bikes are simple to use—just hop on and pedal hard enough to keep the pedometer in the green. Please remember to bring your own charging cable.
If you see that someone else is waiting to use the bike, please limit your time to 20 minutes so that everyone has a chance to use the bike.
