Improvements to Your Recreation

New Ecommerce Software

IM-Rec Sports is changing our ecommerce partner – here is what you need to know.

Most of the changes depend on if you currently use Netbadge, UVA’s single sign-in. The sections below are divided as Netbadge users and Non-Netbadge users.

Membership - Access to Rec Centers

Access the gym with your ID as normal. All current memberships will carry over into the new system. Membership terms and rates all remain the same.

University Issued ID: No Change
Medical Center Issued ID: No Change
Old IM-Rec Issued ID: Changed

  • If you received an IM-Rec Sports ID card before January 6, 2020, please visit the business office at the AFC to get a new card. We are open M-F 9am-5:30pm. We apologize for this inconvenience.
  • Note: We are launching an app very soon that will allow you to access the Rec Centers without an ID card. That should be available starting January 13th.
