In the lead-up to UW Fitness Day, we are spotlighting the coaches, student-athletes and campus partners who will be bringing the energy to Husky Stadium and UW Fitness Day across our campuses.

Train with the Huskies
What makes UW Fitness Day especially unique is the opportunity to be coached by UW Athletics coaches alongside a number of current student-athletes. These coaches and players will lead multiple fitness stations throughout the event bringing their expertise, energy and competitive spirit directly to participants. Whether it’s agility drills inspired by soccer, strength work influenced by football, or coordination and mobility from gymnastics, each station offers a fun and engaging way to experience how these athletes train.
Participants can explore more about these programs by visiting their official pages:
- UW Women’s Soccer

Powered by campus partners
UW Fitness Day is made possible through collaboration across campus. UW Recreation will be on the field leading a dedicated fitness station and helping participants connect to ways to stay active year-round. Jeff Palmer and the UW Rec team are known for creating inclusive, accessible programs through the IMA and across campus, supporting thousands of students, faculty and staff in building lifelong movement habits.
Behind the scenes, Lauren Updyke is helping bring this vision to life. With a strong background in fitness, exercise physiology, and wellness programming, she has helped lay the groundwork for an event like UW Fitness Day to thrive ensuring it is inclusive, energizing, and accessible for all.
Kick off the energy early
Start your Husky Strong weekend at Dawgs After Dark, UW Football’s Spring Ball game on Friday, May 1 at 6:30 p.m. Free tickets available (up to 12 per person). Then bring that energy with you to UW Fitness Day!
More than movement
UW Fitness Day is about showing up for each other. As a Husky Strong signature event, we’re proud to give back to our community, raising over $22,000 for the UW Food Pantries thus far in 2026. You can be part of it by making an optional donation through the UW Combined Fund Drive in support of Husky Strong.
Thank you to our sponsors!
UW Fitness Day is possible because of our partners BECU, TIAA, Decathlon, Husky Mobile, UW Medicine and UW Athletics!
