If you’re like us, you probably made some fitness goals you’d like to achieve in 2024. Good news — you don’t have to get that gym membership just yet. Today, we want to share some ways you can get active without having to shell out extra cash for a gym or personal trainer.
From aerobics to Zumba — literally from A-Z — Fitness in the Park is a city-wide health + wellness initiative that offers free programs for the community across the Alamo City. There are a variety of free exercise and fitness classes for all ages + ability levels. The best part, most classes don’t even require registration.
There is also no limit to how many classes you’d like to join, so here are three to get you started:
FIP Beginner Tennis | Tuesdays in February | 6-7 p.m. | Fairchild Park, 1214 E. Crockett St. | Free, no registration required | Ages 6+ | Interested in learning a new sport? Well lace up those tennis shoes and get ready to learn the basics of tennis.
