Welcome
Acadia Athletics, the Acadia Alumni Association, and Student Life are proud to offer an opportunity to engage students in sport, recreation, and fitness during a COVID-19 altered setting on the Acadia campus for the 2020/21 school year. While sport, recreation, and fitness activities including varsity, club sports and intramurals will not operate in the manner they normally do, modified variations of program delivery will be offered. All sport, recreation, and fitness opportunities offered to campus will meet Acadia’s Return to Campus plan, Nova Scotia’s Return to Sport guidelines, and the N.S. government approved plans offered by various provincial sport, recreation, and fitness organizations. In this altered setting, the aim of sport and recreation for students for Campus 2020/21 is to:
- Provide enhanced value to the Acadia student experience
- Expand student engagement and activity in facility
- Increase collaboration between Athletics and student body
- Create a sustainable model for recreation into the future

Alternate Sport and Recreation – Campus 2021
Fitness Boot Camps
Join us in War Memorial Gymnasium for Fitness Bootcamps lead by a Virtual Instructor from the fitness professionals at Evolve Fitness. Evolve Fitness is based out of Halifax and turned to running online bootcamps when the pandemic first closed their in-person facility. The one-hour bootcamps offer both live and pre-recorded options.
Individuals are welcome to bring their own yoga mat or resistance bands (there will be no weights). We ask you wear clean sneakers that will not harm or leave markings on the floor. Participants must bring their own sweat towel and water bottle (already filled - water fountains are not available). This Bootcamp will be lead by a virtual instructor through EVOLVE FITNESS in War Memorial Gymnasium. Participants should arrive 5 minutes prior through the main AAC doors marked Fitness Centre, Raymond Field, War Memorial Gym to be checked in by staff. Boot Camp will begin at posted time.
All time-slots are preregistered through: https://acadiau.legendonlineservices.ca/enterprise/account/login
