Whether in the lab or on the field, WPI is a community of doers. We understand the importance of a proper work-life balance for healthy living, which is why we offer a wide variety of clubs, teams, and fitness classes to help you stay in shape, relieve stress, make friends, and most importantly, have fun.
From participating in a lunchtime yoga class held in our dance studios to taking over the pool for a game of underwater hockey, there’s something for everyone—students, faculty, and staff alike—to participate in at the Rec Center, or at one of our state-of-the-art fields, courts, or studios.

Taking place during the traditional academic year (August-May), club sports give students the opportunity to join over 30 different sports teams ranging from ultimate Frisbee and rugby to ballroom dancing and pep band.
