A new local work out program could have people saying good-bye to their gyms, and hello to the outdoors!
The new Fit! Parks program offered through the Syracuse parks department is FREE for anyone. The 45-minute workouts are lead by professionals who can tailor your workout depending on your level.
Chris Abbott, director of recreation for Syracuse, says people from the community are getting involved- just by word of mouth! Abbott says even people who don't know about the program have stumbled across the free workout.
"People might be walking by and see us exercising in the park and then the next time they'll join us. So that was the whole idea," says Abbott.
The work outs on Tuesday and Thursday start at 6 p.m. at Thornden Park. On Mondays and Wednesdays they are at Burnet Park at 6 p.m.
