the New York University Hiking Club... where fitness and pleasure walk hand in hand.
Fitness walking is one of the ideal forms of exercise, enabling the walker to tone muscles, burn calories, reduce stress, increase energy, improve their overall quality of life, and enjoy doing it. Our club offers a non-competitive social activity that is versatile enough to accommodate all ages and fitness levels.
The Hiking Club holds six to eight outings a year with most walks averaging two hours plus travel time. We go to parks, preserves, and beaches where city-bound members can have a healthy workout while exploring refreshing natural environments and the occasional cityscape. Members are also encouraged to participate in charity walks during the year, and to hone their skills using the gym’s fitness equipment.
The club attracts students, faculty, and alumni, with an international mix joining native New Yorkers to provide a lively forum for the exchange of ideas and information about our city and our destinations–the history, geological features, flora and fauna–as well as cultural traditions. It offers an ideal opportunity for students from outside New York to discover some of the natural resources available to them, from Bear Mountain and Jones Beach to Central and Prospect Parks to the Brooklyn Bridge.
