Drop-In Classes at the Lombardi Recreation Center
Drop-in classes, such as yoga, kickboxing, Pilates, boxing, kayaking and cycling, are open to Lombardi members and guests for a $5 fee. Membership is available to University of Nevada, Reno students, faculty, staff and their immediate family members. Memberships can be purchased online or at the cashier’s office for $65 per semester. Drop-in classes are a way to exercise with a group without making a commitment to attend a regular class. Lombardi also offers specific classes at different times of the day, such as the AM Blast, PM Pump and Lunch Crunch. The drop-in classes are based on a first-come, first serve basis. Sign-ups begin one hour before the class starts.
