As we kick off the new semester, I'm thrilled to share some exciting milestones that highlight the energy and engagement we’re witnessing at Aztec Recreation. The facilities are buzzing with activity. We recently hit a record-breaking 9,092 turnstile counts in a single day across the ARC, Aquaplex and ARC Express! Within that, was an impressive 7,715 visits to the ARC, shattering previous records. This momentum is also showing with Sport Clubs, as we’re on track to surpass last year’s record of 946 Sports Club student-athletes, a clear testament to the impact the program has with students.
This year’s Aztec Nights event ARC’ll Make Ya JUMP JUMP!! drew an amazing crowd of 1,027 participants. On top of that, intramural sports leagues are off and running, and we’re offering over 70 group fitness classes each week to meet the diverse interests of our campus population from yoga to boxing fitness, cardio dance, meditation and more.
In line with our commitment to well-being, we’re excited to introduce a new Employee Wellness Coaching Program, providing personalized support to A.S. full-time staff as individuals pursue their health goals.
Please remember, A.S. full time employees are eligible for a complimentary Aztec Recreation membership! Membership is also included for enrolled SDSU students. This semester is shaping up to be one for the books, and I couldn’t be more excited to see where we’ll go from here. Thank you to everyone who’s contributing to this success!
Wishing health and happiness to you and your loved ones!

Associate Executive Director
