Anytime Fitness will offer ''Free Workout Saturdays'' throughout May

– Get ready for some outdoor fitness fun! Anytime Fitness of Mount Vernon is hosting fun-infused exercises like tug-of-war, relay races, obstacle courses and more at a designated park every Saturday during the month of May.

The five consecutive “Free Workout Saturdays” will be led by certified personal trainers and are designed for people of every fitness level. They are open to all, not just Anytime Fitness members. The concept, inspired by grassroots efforts of a few Anytime Fitness clubs that regularly offer free outdoor “boot camps,” has grown into a nationwide campaign to promote physical fitness.

We want our community to be as healthy and active as possible – and we hope that the Free Workouts Saturdays will show folks that exercise can be fun.  We hope this is the jumpstart and motivation to continue their own personal healthier lifestyle journeys.

Mount Vernon is one of more than 1,000 Anytime Fitness clubs across the United States will host the free outdoor exercise classes.

At Anytime Fitness, we’re passionate about helping people ‘get to a healthier place. That can mean different things to different people. For some, it’s losing weight or gaining strength. For others, it’s improving balance or flexibility. The important thing is to find physical activities that you enjoy, so being active is something you look forward to – rather than dread.
