There are some new ways to get in shape for free in the neighborhood. All you have to do is drag your butt off the couch.
The Central Park Circuit consists of two six-week sessions. The spring session runs from May 14 – June 20, and the summer session runs from July 9 – August 15. The hour-long classes are held twice weekly:
Tuesdays: Play Out
6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Great Lawn
Meet at Delacorte Theater
(Mid-Park at 80st Street)
Tap your inner drive to play with upbeat strength and cardio conditioning workouts that will encourage you to push your limits.
Thursdays: Bliss Out
6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Great Hill
Meet at the plaza at Central Park West and 106th Street
Shift your attitude, clear your mind, and heal your body using yoga-inspired moves.
(Space is limited. Central Park Conservancy members who bring their membership cards are guaranteed a slot in each class. Attendees can continue their workout on their own by following exercises available by video or PDF on the Conservancy’s Web site, centralparknyc.org/circuit.)
