Get up and move at The Ridgefield Playhouse on Family Health & Fitness Day USA, Saturday, September 27

Whether it’s indoors or outdoors -- It’s both at The Ridgefield Playhouse --, just get moving on Family Health & Fitness Day USA, on Saturday, September 27, from 1 – 4 p.m. Tons of fun events are planned for the whole family to enjoy together, all geared to make working out convenient and accessible for everyone in the family. The pros of The Gym of Ridgefield and Southbury will host a “giant” Zumba class on the Playhouse stage plus Pilates, yoga, obstacle courses and much more to inspire regular exercise. Nature’s Temptations will serve healthy smoothies in the lobby. This event is sponsored by The Gym of Ridgefield & Southbury with support from Nature's Temptations and is part of HamletHub's “A Whole New You” Series with media sponsor 98Q.


“We partner with The Gym (formerly Ridgefield Fitness) every year to create an event that coincides with Women’s Health and Fitness Day, which is the last Wednesday of September, or Family Health and Fitness Day, which is the last Saturday of September,” says Allison Stockel, Executive Director of The Ridgefield Playhouse.  “In the past, we’ve done Zumba classes on the stage of the Playhouse at night, and this year we’re expanding it to do fun stuff during the day that is outside, as well as bring additional classes, such as yoga, to the stage.  We’re so pleased to be partnering, yet again, with The Gym and applaud their commitment to making exercise fun for the entire family!”      

Consistent with the goals of the U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health, the purpose of this event is to promote family involvement in physical activity.  Local organizations throughout the country will be hosting family-related health and fitness events at schools, parks, hospitals, YMCAs/YWCAs, malls, health clubs and other community locations.
