Feb 01, 2015 09:53PM ● By Mb News Staff
Amenzone Fitness, Guru's Gate Yoga, CoeDynamics and Haute Yogi Manhattan Beach are four of the health and fitness businesses participating in the first “Free Fitness Weekends,” Friday, Feb. 6 through Sunday, Feb. 8.

Organized by the 
Beach Cities Health District, which serves Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach, this new health initiative gives the public the opportunity to take free exercise classes in the Beach Cities the first weekend of every month. 

“Physical fitness is one of the cornerstones of a healthy life, but alarmingly, only one in three adults and one in four children currently get the recommended amount of daily physical activity,” said Dr. Lisa Santora, BCHD’s Chief Medical Officer. “We hope Free Fitness Weekends helps people connect with a fitness opportunity that they love and will stick with long-term."

Amenzone Fitness, 2317 N. Sepulveda Blvd., will offer a class called "Primal" on Friday, Feb. 6 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Primal is a "back-to-basics workout" for athletes and athletically minded people. Participants will use tires and one’s own strength for a "natural workout," according to the online class schedule.
 
On Saturday, Feb. 7 from 10:30-11:45 a.m., Guru's Gate Yoga, 815 Manhattan Ave., will offer "Community Vinyasa Flow," a "vigorous yoga style" that links breath and movement through a "sequence of Sun Salutations and postures." Class size is limited to 25. Register in advance online here.

CoeDynamics, 500 S. Sepulveda Blvd., will offer a Core Pilates Reformer Class in which participants can learn the intricacy of their core while getting a full-body workout on Saturday, Feb. 7 from 11-11:55 a.m. Class size is limited. Advance online registration is required and available here.

Haute Yogi Manhattan Beach, 3618 Highland Ave., will offer an Introductory Yoga Class on Sunday, Feb. 8 from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Participants will learn yoga basics, including basic postures, proper alignment and breathwork, with owner and Breast Cancer Survivor Tiffany Friedman.
