Sign Up For New Fitness Programs with the Suffield Parks and Recreation Department

Written by: Donna Carney-Bastrzycki, Special Programs Coordinator-Suffield Parks and Recreation Department

Every year you make a promise to yourself that this will be the year! This will finally be the time to get fit, lose weight and lead a healthier lifestyle. For the first few days or maybe even weeks of the New Year you start on the right path. However, before you know it, the everyday pressures of life occur and old habits start to resurface.

2016 is here and the New Year offers a chance to start fresh. The best way to stick to your fitness and health goals is by making a commitment and by setting time aside for yourself so you can follow through each day. One of the best ways to follow through with that commitment is by participating in a motivating class with others to help achieve your goal.

The Suffield Parks and Recreation Department is offering a variety of new fitness programs that will help you stay on track. Sign up today and make 2016 be your best year yet! See below for our fitness classes. For a full listing of programs visit- www.suffieldrec.com
