About Us

Recreation and Wellness Logo

The Recreation and Wellness Department is dedicated to helping the members of the University of Richmond community maintain physical and emotional wellbeing through education and activity. With a new fitness center and numerous exercise and wellness class offerings, Richmond students, faculty, staff and neighbors can develop healthier lifestyles.

We offer various facilities, such as a pool, several group exercise rooms, an indoor track, basketball and racquetball courts, sauna and a gameroom. Our services include everything from personal training and exercise instruction to massage therapy and fitness screenings. Intramurals and sports clubs of all types are popular at Richmond and with so many recreational activities covered, everyone can find something they are interested in.


As a graduation requirement, students must take URAware, a course on alcohol awareness, and two other wellness course of their choice. The Recreation and Wellness Department is proud to offer these and other educational opportunities for students and the University community.
