Want to get fit this fall? Or, at least fitter?
St. Paul Parks and Recreation is extending its free outdoor fitness program, Fitness in the Parks, thanks to popular demand.
The program, which started in June, will now run well into autumn.
"Our goal for the Fitness in the Parks program was to give people another reason to get outdoors and exercise," said Parks and Recreation Director Mike Hahm. "The success of this program has exceeded our expectations, and the public has expressed a lot of interest in seeing this program continue for as long as weather will permit. We are pleased to offer classes through the end of September."
Summer program classes included martial arts, dance, yoga, boot camp, Pilates, Zumba and CrossFit. Classes scheduled for September include yoga on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Cherokee Heights Park, CrossFit on Tuesdays and Saturdays at Harriet Island and boot camp on Saturdays at Indian Mounds Park. Classes are taught by people with local Saint Paul businesses who have partnered with the City of St. Paul.
No prior registration is required and classes are free and open to all ages and fitness levels. For more information including the most recent schedule, visit stpaul.gov/FitnessintheParks.
