YMCA to offer free fitness classes this weekend

To improve health through physical activity, the YMCA of Callaway County is offering free group exercise classes on Friday evening and Saturday morning.

The Fall into Fitness free classes are designed to let people know the type of activities and equipment available for fitness training at the YMCA facilities at 1715 Wood St. in Fulton.

Brandi McGrath, YMCA membership and administrative director, said the free classes are designed to remind people that exercise is still important even during fall and winter months when many people spend less time outdoors.

"This is a free preview of classes we will be offering in the fall and winter months," said Talisha Washington, YMCA program coordinator.

To help the tornado-stricken people of Dumas and surroundings, donations can be made to the Delta Area Disaster Relief Fund, care of the Delta Area Community Foundation, P.O. Box 894, Dumas, AR, 71639, or through the Arkansas Community Foundation, 700 S. Rock St., Little Rock, AR, 72202.
