On Saturday, September 24, 2011 from 7:15 a.m. until noon, The Playground will celebrate the opening of its newly renovated facility at 977 Farmington Avenue in West Hartford.
Formerly The KUR, The Playground is “Serious Fitness for Adults.” At The Playground, group exercise classes based upon rolling, crawling, skipping, jumping, throwing and hopping (to name a few) – the very games, movements, and activities so natural for young children – are applied to an adult workout that is designed to challenge bodies, burn fat, strengthen muscles, and of course provide fun. The Playground co-founder and fitness director Glenn Marcella is the author of “Duh. The Workout: Get in the Best Shape of Your Life by Acting Like a Child.”
The event will feature two complimentary exercise classes – one from 7:15-8:15 a.m. and one from 8:30-9:30 a.m., refreshments, and the chance to enter a raffle to win a free one-year membership to The Playground.
