The Recreation and Wellness Department at Southern Utah University provides opportunities for students and employees to live healthier lives and have lots of fun. The Recreation and Wellness Department has three main divisions: T-Bird Recreation, 91ɬÂþ Outdoors, and Health and Wellness Center.
T-Bird Recreation, in partnership with the Kinesiology and Outdoor Recreation Department, runs the J. L. Sorenson Physical Education Building including an Olympic-sized pool, three full basketball courts, five racquetball courts, and six pickleball courts. Open year-round, the PE Building courts, pool, track, and rock wall are free to students, faculty, and staff. Also available to students, faculty and staff are the nightly group fitness classes in yoga, paddleboard yoga, Zumba, and as well a high fit and a water aerobics group. Additionally, the PE Building is also home to intramural sports and tournaments.

The Health and Wellness Program focuses on helping students and staff to have healthy minds, healthy bodies, and healthy relationships. Through comprehensive programming, events, peer education, and sharing health information and resources, the Health and Wellness Program promotes the physical and emotional well-being of students, faculty, and staff.
