Weber State University has announced several fitness special events, including a restorative yoga and sound bath session and the 1,000 LBS. Club weight lifting competition.
According to information on the university's fitness website, participation in certain classes requires a Wildcard ID or a Community Pass.
The restorative yoga and sound bath sessions are offered once a month during the spring semester. These one-hour sessions include the use of bolsters and blocks to support heart-opening and mind-quieting postures, followed by a 30-minute sound bath. The classes are held at 5:45 p.m. at the Wildcat Center. While free for those with an active Wildcard, community members may participate by purchasing a GroupX pass or a drop-in rate.
The 1,000 LBS. Club weight lifting competition was scheduled for Aug. 31, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Wildcat Arena in the Stromberg Complex. The competition involves attempting a one-rep max for three different lifts: bench press, deadlift, and squat, with the goal of totaling 1,000 lbs. Students can participate for free, while faculty, staff, and community members face a $20 fee.
A virtual option for the weight lifting competition was available from Aug. 23-30, 2026. Participants could submit videos of their three lifts to Student Manager David Gibbons via email to qualify, provided entries were submitted by 9 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 31.
Past fitness activities hosted by the facility have included Taylor Swift Cycling Night, Halloween Zumba, Valentine's Day Partner Yoga, and Halloween GroupX Party.
