The new Fitness Court^® is an open-air wellness center that allows users to leverage their own body weight to get a complete workout. Created with all ages in mind, this seven-station court is adaptable for all fitness levels. New users can also download the free Fitness Court App — a coach-in-your-pocket style platform — that transforms the outdoor gym into a digitally supported wellness ecosystem. The Fitness Court App, entitled “Fitness Court”, is available for iOS and Android.

Enjoy!
