New York State Assemblywoman Kimberly Jean-Pierre (D-Lindenhurst) has announced that her annual “Sweaty Summer Saturday” fitness program will be held this Saturday, August 25th from 10AM-12PM at Herman Griem Park in Wheatley Heights. This year’s event will feature a fitness boot camp as well as a yoga class. The event is free and participants are encouraged to bring a yoga mat or beach towel.

“It’s so important to keep our bodies and minds healthy, and Sweaty Summer Saturday is a wonderful opportunity for community members to come out, get to know each other, and celebrate healthy living,” said Assemblywoman Jean-Pierre.

Since taking office in 2015, Assemblywoman Jean-Pierre has been adamant about increasing access to healthy living initiatives, and throughout the summer, she sponsors free yoga and Zumba classes every Saturday morning through her “Mindfulness in the Plaza” fitness events.

Herman Griem Park is located at 175 Landscape Drive in Wheatley Heights. Those interested in participating in Sweaty Summer Saturday are encouraged, but not required to RSVP by calling Lasheca Lewis at 631-957-2087.
