Active Aggies Mobile

Providing classes in various districts around the UC Davis campus, Active Aggies Mobile is making it more convenient for folks to access, get a workout in and not have to go very far from their place of employment. 

This program aims to provide a physical activity intervention on our campus that takes into account barriers that have been expressed by the campus community-cost of ARC/gym facilities, accessibility of gym, time allowed for lunch breaks, family priorities before and after work, etc.
