Fall is a great time to establish or return to indoor fitness activities. To help, Bend Park and Recreation District is offering a free Fall Back into Fitness event from Monday, Nov. 7 through Sunday, Nov. 13, with more than 35 no-cost fitness classes at Juniper Swim & Fitness Center and Larkspur Community Center.

The broad selection of classes allows patrons to experience a little bit of everything the two recreation facilities have to offer. All participating classes are free. See the full schedule of activities on the website.

“This is a perfect time of year to visit our facilities to explore your options and develop your fitness routine,” said Alli Jorgensen, BPRD fitness supervisor. “With everything from water workouts, yoga, Baby & Me fitness classes, Bliss dance workouts, Zumba and more, community members can find something to get them moving and keep moving as we head into winter and beyond.”

Together, Juniper Swim & Fitness Center and Larkspur Community Center feature five pools, two fitness centers, an indoor track, indoor cycling studio, multiple fitness classrooms and more than 200 weekly fitness classes. A fitness and swim pass works at both locations for lap swimming, recreation swim, fitness classes and working out on your own.
