City Fit Was a Hit

We had a great turnout at City Fit on Saturday. Zumba was packed, we had some great (and competitive) kids at KidSPIN and Kid’s Jam and even had a couple newcomers try some of our classes.

We have posted pictures and a video on our Facebook page and will soon be posting some on our Flickr page. Check them out and tell us what you think.

We look forward to what this event brings next year. Thanks to all who came out and supported us and the other organizations that attended.

Here are a few to get you started.

Recap of Relay for Life

This year we attended Relay for Life and had the opportunity to showcase some of our classes. It was a great experience and we took A LOT of pictures! You can see them on our Facebook and Flickr pages but we want to post a few here too. There are also some great pictures from Couples Zumba on both those pages.

We featured Zumba, APM’d, TRX, BodyFlow and CoreWorks. We had a great turn out and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves. Working out outside provides a completely different experience.

We will be moving some of our classes outside for the summer months. June 11 marks the first Saturday we will be featuring outdoor classes in Glen Miller Park. This is also the day of the Richmond Parks Department/G101.3/Kicks 96 City Fit 2011 Event.

Wayne County has been ranked #72 of 92 counties as one of the unhealthiest counties in the state but we are working to change that!

Join us in June, July and August for our outdoor classes! See schedule below, specific times will be coming soon. “Like” us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for updated information. We will update this blog when we have the information.
