Class Times and Locations

Formal classes taught by our instructors are offered four times a week. Members are expected to attend at least two classes each week.

The club trains throughout the year. Normally only a few classes are cancelled near major holidays. Cancellations are announced in classes and on the email list. With only minor modifications, we have held to the schedule listed below for many years.

The club accepts new members during the first part of each semester. Interested potential members (both with and without previous training) are welcome in all classes from Wednesday, May 17th, 2006, through Friday, June 23d, 2006. For a fuller explanation, see our page on how to join.

Club members must be students, alums, staff, faculty, or the immediate family members thereof, and must have a current DAPER membership (These rules apply to every official MIT Club Sport.)

The Exercise Room is the middle room on the second floor of duPont Athletic Center, between the Fencing and Wrestling Rooms. During fall and spring, class is not held when the Zesiger Center ("Z-Center") facilities are closed during scheduled class time. The Z-Center's hours are posted on the web, but it is more reliable to call the main desk at 617-452-3690.

Summer Sunday classes are cancelled until the start of the Fall 2006 semester.

Our usual summer training area is between Kresge Auditorium and the Z-Center. If the area is in use, our fallback is Area F of Briggs Field, between the tennis bubble and the track. On the rare occasions when severe weather (e.g., lightning) makes outdoor training unsafe, we meet in the lobby of the Z-center (which is within sight of the usual training area) and find an indoor location. On summer weekdays, class ends at 8:50 p.m. so we can get back inside the gym before it closes at 9:00 p.m. On summer Sundays, the gym is closed, so we change in the bathrooms of Kresge.
