  <body><![CDATA[<p>National Fitness Day was May 4! How did&nbsp;you spend&nbsp;this holiday? The Campus Recreation Complex (CRC) is proud to be a part of your fitness journey and is dedicated to helping you find what inspires you.

<p><strong>Free Group Fitness Classes:</strong></p>

<p>CRC patrons are invited to try any fitness class for FREE all week long during preview week. This week runs from May 13-May 19 just as the class schedule transitions to summer classes. These classes are a great way to meet new people in the Georgia Tech community, improve your form, all while having a great time. Classes were created with all interest and fitness levels in mind.&nbsp; Assistant Director of Group Fitness, Elisha Smith said, &ldquo;We created our class schedule to cover a wide range of interests. We understand and recognize that not everyone who sets foot in our gym wants to be a bodybuilder so we incorporate programs to reach everyone.&rdquo; Group fitness memberships are available for all CRC members and can be purchased <a href="https://mycrc.gatech.edu/">online</a> or at the member services desk for the entire semester. For more information about the schedule and purchasing a pass go to <a href="https://crc.gatech.edu/fitness/group/drop-in">crc.gatech.edu/group-fitness</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Summer Intramurals: </strong></p>

<p>Say hello to your inner athlete with CRC intramurals. Registration for Phase 1 opens May 21<sup>st</sup> through May 30<sup>th</sup> for sand volleyball and 4v4 soccer. Intramurals are a great excuse to widen your social circle and get involved on campus.&nbsp; &quot;Intramurals are the perfect antidote to college stress. You get to meet new people and exercise with friends. You might even get a cool t-shirt out of it! We offer so many different sports at different times that it doesn&rsquo;t matter if you live on campus or commute, intramurals have something for you,&rdquo; said Abby Harvey, CRC competitive sports coordinator.

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
