You\u2019re actually enjoying your exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Billy Willis, the associate director of Campus Recreation, said the addition of new classes is the result of students wanting to get involved and instruct fitness classes. Students who lead fitness classes create new experiences with their peers, which also helps to retain students on campus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe know students love to get involved with New Year resolutions, and we\u2019re doing whatever we can to keep that going,\u201d said Willis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new boxing class, which is taught by Melody Roop, a senior financial services major, has quickly become a popular choice for students, especially when they are feeling overwhelmed by their studies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt\u2019s a good way to get some stress out,\u201d said Roop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Classes are free to anyone who has a Campus Recreation membership.
