Without a doubt, the biggest New Year’s resolution is to loose weight and get in shape, and the Northlake Mall has decided to take advantage of the trend.
They’ll be hosting a month-long series of free fitness classes to help motivate and encourage anyone who wants to get in shape or loose a few pounds.
The classes take place every Saturday at 10 a.m. on the mall’s upper level near entry four, with the following classes offered this month:
▪ Jan. 7: Heather Fried from McCrorey Family YMCA will lead MixxedFit, a dance fitness program that is a mix of dancing and boot camp toning
▪ Jan. 14: The “Get Fit with Kristen” class will focus on building lean muscle and burning fat
▪ Jan. 21: The Country Heat Live class is a high-energy, low-impact, country dance-inspired workout led by Nomad Fitness
▪ Jan. 28: Heather Fried returns for MixxedFit
The mall also hosts a Walkers Program on the first Wednesday of every month – you can sign up for their alerts here.
