The Let's Get Physical! Fitness Series began 3 years ago to further the mission of Price Hill Will by improving the quality of life for Price Hill residents through positive healthy living choices. This project has made positive connections with many residents regardless of age, ethnicity or socio-economic status, and has proven itself successful in making it easy to access free classes for wellness and social connection 5 to 6 days a week. The classes include yoga, Latin Dance with direction in Spanish and English and Zumba, and we are hoping to add a cardio/strength class. Class participants range from school age children to seniors. Price Hill Will has collaborated with a variety of organizations to host classes; the class locations are specifically spread throughout Price Hill to create easy access to the diverse population from typical car-owning homeowners to just-arrived immigrant families who are walking or biking for primary transportation. Now, a resident-led initiative, this series is entering a new and exciting phase. Over the last year, the program has grown from being a summertime sampler to year-round classes, including school-based classes for Cincinnati Public School children.

It is our goal to continue engaging more people through current classes and responding to needs for additional and/or more diverse healthy choices. Funds will be used to purchase needed equipment and hire professional fitness instructors.
