The five consecutive &#8220;Free Workout Saturdays&#8221; 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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone realizes that exercise is good for you,&#8221; said Dave Mortensen, President of Anytime Fitness. &#8220;But for many people, knowing how and where to get started can be a challenge. Our hope is that the &#8216;Free Workout Saturdays&#8217; will show folks that exercise can be fun \u2013 and hopefully they&#8217;ll find the motivation to continue on their own personal journeys to a healthier lifestyle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Free Workout Saturdays&#8221; are open to all adults, not just Anytime Fitness members. Each participating club will offer its own unique &#8220;Free Workout Saturday&#8221; 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 &#8220;boot camps,&#8221; has grown into a nationwide campaign to promote physical fitness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At Anytime Fitness, we&#8217;re passionate about helping people &#8216;Get to a Healthier Place,'&#8221; said Stacy Anderson, Chief Marketing Officer for Anytime Fitness. &#8220;That can mean different things to different people. For some it&#8217;s losing weight or gaining strength. For others it&#8217;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 \u2013 rather than dread.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/icyf8-4gUvM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>HASTINGS, MN<\/strong> &#8211; More than 1,000 Anytime Fitness clubs across the United States will host free outdoor exercise classes during the month of May.
