University of Miami 19 of 21

Designed to be one of the nation's finest recreational sports facilities, the University of Miami's Patti and Allan Herbert Wellness Center can't be missed. Classes include studio cycling, yoga, Pilates, martial arts and even cooking, as well as CPR and first aid.



If you're striving to improve your performance, you can take part in testing at the fitness lab, where your consultation with a certified exercise physiologist will provide you with data as well as serviceable tips on how to approach your training and exercise program (think VO2 max, resting metabolic rate and body composition).



Because every fitness journey is a life-long process, the university also offers a Living Independently Through Fitness and Exercise (L.I.F.E) program, a group strength and flexibility program for those 65 and older that's been named "a "Successful Active Aging Program" by the American College of Sports Medicine.
