Fitness During the Transition
All group fitness classes in the new facility will be offered by DAPER. The HIP fitness classes currently held at 3145 Porter Drive will discontinue after March. However, select fitness classes at 3160 Porter Drive will continue to be offered through June. In addition, DAPER is working with several of your favorite instructors from Porter Drive locations to teach in Redwood City beginning this spring.

If you sign up for a HIP fitness class and move mid-quarter, you will automatically receive a DAPER Cardinal Group Fitness Pass for the remainder of the quarter. The Cardinal Group Fitness Pass offers unlimited access to all fitness classes at the Recreation and Wellness Center in Redwood City. Simply pick up your free pass at the fitness center when you arrive.
