HASTINGS, MN – More than 1,000 Anytime Fitness clubs across the United States will host free outdoor exercise classes during the month of May. The five consecutive “Free Workout Saturdays” will be led by certified personal trainers and feature fun-infused exercises like tug-of-war, relay races, obstacle courses and more designed for people of every fitness level.
“Everyone realizes that exercise is good for you,” said Dave Mortensen, President of Anytime Fitness. “But for many people, knowing how and where to get started can be a challenge. Our hope is that the ‘Free Workout Saturdays’ will show folks that exercise can be fun – and hopefully they’ll find the motivation to continue on their own personal journeys to a healthier lifestyle.”
The “Free Workout Saturdays” are open to all adults, not just Anytime Fitness members. Each participating club will offer its own unique “Free Workout Saturday” activities and in many communities city officials and public health administrators will join in the effort to get their residents involved. The concept, inspired by grass-roots efforts of a few dozen Anytime Fitness clubs that regularly offer free outdoor “boot camps,” has grown into a nationwide campaign to promote physical fitness.
“At Anytime Fitness, we’re passionate about helping people ‘Get to a Healthier Place,'” said Stacy Anderson, Chief Marketing Officer for Anytime Fitness. “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.”
