GET UP OFF THAT COUCH! It's been a long, cold winter -- no shame if you haven't moved in a while. Plus, our local fitness businesses have been closed for more than a year to group classes.

To get us all back to moving -- and to shine the spotlight on Harlem fitness and wellness providers -- a coalition of local businesses have come together to offer you three weeks of FREE sample classes. That’s 21 days of everything from cardio to strength to yoga to meditation and pilates.

They say it takes 21 days to build a habit, and we’ll kick the series off on Sunday, March 21, the first full day of spring. Each weekday at 6 p.m. and weekends at 10 a.m., the lineup includes:

SUNDAYS: Mindful Harlem
MONDAYS: Harlem Cycle
TUESDAYS: Harlem Pilates
WEDNESDAYS: Harlem Wellness Center
THURSDAYS: Harlem Run
FRIDAYS: JTW Fit
SATURDAYS: Harlem Yoga Studio

Participants who complete the most classes will be eligible for prizes -- including merch, swag and memberships to the businesses above, plus our friends at Women’s World of Boxing, Bond Street Dojo, Harlem Chi Acupuncture and more.

The classes are free as our gift to you, with support from Harlem Run, Harlem EatUp! and Uptown Grand Central. Donations also accepted. Register via Eventbrite.
