Free Exercise Classes To Begin At Railroad Park

BIRMINGHAM, AL — Spring is in the air, and Railroad Park is ramping up its free exercise classes as part of its Get Healthy on the Railroad series. The classes begin March 14.

Exercise classes are designed to meet varied fitness levels and preferences. All classes are led by expert instructors and are free to all participants, thanks to the support of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama.

Get Healthy’s evening exercise classes take place Monday through Friday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., March 14 through October 31. The complete evening lineup includes bootcamp, Hip Hop Cardio, Zumba, yoga and Family Fun Friday.

With low-impact workouts designed to boost strength and balance, Senior Fit classes will be each Tuesday at 8 a.m.

“One of Railroad Park’s primary goals is to be a unifying green space that provides equitable access to outdoor recreation,” said Camille Spratling, executive director, Railroad Park Foundation. “Get Healthy, sponsored by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama, is a cornerstone of that goal. We have so many talented instructors leading a wide variety of workouts—and having a great time doing it. The program is free and open to anyone who wants to participate, and on any given weekday it’s wonderful to see the lovely groups of people out here, having a great time while boosting their health and wellness.”

All experience levels are welcome. Participants in Get Healthy exercise classes arrive 15 minutes early to sign in. Classes take place at various locations throughout the park, weather permitting. Any necessary cancellations are announced on Railroad Park’s social media channels.
