Fit City's Walking Club

Body and Community Walking Club

1st Thursday of the Month 7:00 a.m.

Whether you are a couch potato or a marathon runner, this program is a great way to come together and support one another in the name of healthy living! Bring your family or come alone but join us as we get out into the community, see new sights, meet new people and improve our health along the way. Each month we will visit a new destination in Valparaiso, take a walk and track our progress together. Wellness is always more fun when we do it as one!

There is no program cost for participation, please call 219-462-5144 to confirm locations and dates.

Participants will receive a Fit City log to track progress. Are you up to the challenge? What a great opportunity to support and spend time with others interested in staying healthy.
