The City of Grand Rapids, Priority Health and Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. are hosting the eighth annual summer of free outdoor fitness in parks and public spaces across the city. The 16 dance, cardio, and yoga classes will run weekly from May 15 through the first of September.

David Marquardt, the City’s Parks and Recreation director says, “The free outdoor fitness series has become a community favorite,” he adds “Thanks to our partners, this series continues to grow. We’re excited for another summer creating connections and getting active in our parks and public spaces.”
