Workouts with a View

Free Fitness Classes

Whether you’re getting your heart pumping with cardio or finding your center with yoga, the North Lawn of the Commons is the place to take your workout classes outside – and it’s all free.

Sponsored by UnitedHealthcare and coordinated by Quality Wellness and RawYoga614, you’ll find four classes every week from May through September. Here’s how it works:

First, fill out the online waiver and release to participate in fitness classes.
- The fitness waiver is required for all class attendants.
Then, you can attend all Columbus Commons fitness classes for the season.
When you attend your first fitness class, please check in at the table located just west of the stage to confirm you’ve completed a waiver. Blank waivers will also be available at the check-in table.
You may come and go to any of the fitness classes as you wish as long as you sign the fitness waiver! No need to RSVP.
