DOWNTOWN WELLNESS CHALLENGE - MAY

As we head into summer, it’s a great time to build momentum and find routines that keep you feeling your best.

The Downtown Wellness Challenge is a month-long program (May 1 – May 31) designed to help you explore local fitness and wellness businesses in a fun and rewarding way. It’s an easy, flexible way to try something new, support small businesses, and prioritize your health.
