The Esplanade is known to be a favorite spot for many Bostonians looking for a free, safe space to exercise. The Esplanade Association (esplanadeassociation.org) is excited to announce it will be hosting their fifth season Frost Fit Winter Series 2023 Presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. This outdoor winter fitness series on the Esplanade will feature a program-packed lineup of workout classes and winter activities for people of all ages, abilities, and fitness levels to enjoy.
The Winter Fitness Series will launch on January 28th at Fiedler Field with a 3-hour event featuring two workout classes, hot chocolate and swag all free to participants! Spend an hour or two learning about this year’s upcoming Frost Fit season and check out registration for classes.
From January 30 to March 4, the November Project, 261 Fearless Club New England, and Lynx Fitness Club will each hold around one class per week. While you break a sweat, you can recover with a cup of hot chocolate, and receive free swag after all the classes!
The Esplanade Association provides free programming to people in the greater-Boston community to engage their minds and bodies on the Esplanade. Frost Fit encourages people to venture outside and experience the beauty of the Esplanade in winter while beginning the new year with regular workouts.
