Harvard recognizes the importance of health and fitness for staff and their families. The University has a number of inexpensive (and sometimes free!) programs and classes that make it convenient to exercise during the day or before or after work.

For a modest fee, employees may purchase an individual or family membership at Harvard’s extensive athletic facilities, which include two swimming pools, weight rooms, tennis courts, and a sailing center

Harvard Medical School and Harvard Dental School offer their employees and their family members an innovative mix of exercise and wellness programs through BodyScapes, designed to meet individual interests and goals including weight loss, stress management, cardiovascular endurance, sports-specific conditioning and improving overall health.

The Harvard University Center for Wellness provides top quality, inexpensive wellness programs and treatments, including acupuncture, massage, yoga, safety and much more — all conveniently on the Cambridge campus.
