Join us for a free, year-round “Fitness at the Fort” exercise program on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays!
This fitness class incorporates climbing multiple staircases, stretches and strengthening exercises, notable tree identification, and forest bathing. Led by instructor, Nancy Bruning, BA, MPH, PAPHS.
Classes are structured so that all levels of fitness will be accommodated; however, all classes involve relatively brisk walking and some stairs because of the layout of the park itself. Classes vary according to the season, path conditions, and the weather, but always meet at the Heather Garden entrance.
Tuesday and Thursday classes end at various points near the starting point, including the volleyball courts. Saturday class ends at the Anne Loftus Playground, using the various pieces of equipment, and offers optional after-class group walk to the Greenmarket on Isham Street. All classes end with closing with stretches.
(Note: Fitness Walking does not meet if it is raining or if the actual temperature or wind chill is below 20 degrees F.)

Hike the Heights 2024
2024-06-01 08:30 - 13:00
Every year, on National Trails Day (the first Saturday in June), Hike the Heights has provided a way to explore the paths through northern Manhattan’s Parks.

This year, you can start the hike early, with a gentle pre-hike head-to-toe stretch-and-strengthening class. Trust Founding Board member and certified fitness instructor Nancy Bruning leads the pre-hike, which is actually the Saturday version of the aptly called Forest Fitness class.

This class meets at the entrance to the Heather Garden, at Margaret Corbin Circle at 8:30 AM, does a warm-up at Linden Terrace, and swoops around the westernmost path with breathtaking river views, and then down the hill to the Anne Loftus Playground at Broadway. The class ends at 9:30, during which you can take a coffee and/or bathroom break. We re-assemble across the street from the playground, at the RING Garden at 9:45, and leave a 10 AM sharp for the hike across Dyckman Avenue to Swindler Cove. We then hike through Highbridge Park, (note: it’s hilly and has stairs), to the Sunken Playground at 165th Street for the After Party–food, beverages, crafts, music, dance, restrooms, water fountain, and more.

Times and distances:

Heather Garden to Ann Loftus Playground – 1 mile (8:30- 9:30 stopping for stretches). Near buses and A subway.
RING Garden to Swindler Cove – 1 mile (10-11:00, stopping for traffic lights and Swindler tour). Near Buses and #1 subway.
Swindler Cove to Sunken Playground -2 miles (stopping or oohing and aahing at the breathtaking views). Near buses and A/1 subway.
