MVP Health Care, the Town of Chili, and National Fitness Campaign (NFC) have partnered to bring an outdoor Fitness Court® Studio to Union Station Park. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Wednesday, July 17. The MVP Health Care Fitness Court Studio will provide the community with increased access to outdoor exercise programs.
This Fitness Court Studio was developed by MVP Health Care, Town of Chili, and NFC to expand free access to high quality workouts and create equitable access to exercise for all in the community. It features two workout areas separated by a mural wall designed by the Chili Art Group to showcase the setting and to inspire people as they enjoy the benefits and energy created by a great outdoor workout. The Fitness Court Studio delivers the powerful seven-minute full body workout on one side and a versatile outdoor class area for enjoying yoga, Zumba, Pilates and other popular group wellness activities on the opposite side.
Created with people aged 14 and over and with all abilities in mind, the workouts are adaptable for all fitness levels, allowing participants to move at their own pace. Users also may download the free Fitness Court App which acts as a coach-in-your-pocket and enhances the outdoor gym into a digitally supported wellness experience.
“The launch of the MVP Health Care Fitness Court in Union Station Park is a step towards providing access to resources that can change the trajectory of someone’s health and wellness journey,” said MVP Health Care’s president and chief executive officer, Chris Del Vecchio. “As a leading health care services company, investing in our local communities and offering new, innovative wellness options like the Fitness Court reinforces our commitment to giving back to the people we serve and places we call home. We are proud to partner with NFC and the Town of Chili to bring this unique opportunity to the local community and look forward to seeing you on the Fitness Court.”
Town of Chili is one of 27 outdoor Fitness Courts in a series of MVP Health Care Fitness Courts, joining the growing network across the state.
“National Fitness Campaign is proud to welcome the Town of Chili to the campaign as a leader in New York, championing health and wellness for their residents,” said Mitch Menaged, founder of National Fitness Campaign. “The addition of the Fitness Court Studio, along with digital wellness programming, demonstrates a tremendous commitment to the health and wellbeing within the community.”
“Providing high quality, no cost recreation and fitness opportunities to our residents is key to a healthy community,” said Supervisor David Dunning. “This is a very exciting addition to the park. The Fitness Court will add to our already great menu of recreational programs and also provide a great workout while enjoying being outdoors.”
