Rochester, MN Fresh Air Fitness - Free Fitness Classes

Fresh Air Fitness is actually quite self-explanatory: it's a fitness class that is done outside! The perfect thing for us Minnesotans who have been cooped up all winter long.

Plus, best of all, the classes are free.

In the past, there have been barre, yoga, and Zumba classes offered. They have also always held the classes at Central Park in downtown Rochester. But this year the location has changed.
