GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The City of Grand Rapids is hosting over a dozen free outdoor fitness classes beginning today and lasting through the beginning of September.
The city partnered with Priority Health and Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. to bring back the annual free classes for an eighth year this spring.
The classes take place at parks across Grand Rapids between May 15 and Sept. 1.
All of the classes are free of charge and no registration is required.
