Imagine sitting down to your Thanksgiving meal knowing you’ve earned the right to gobble up every sweet and savory calorie.

Get that guilt-free feeling by taking advantage of the JCC’s Pre-Feast Fitness Fest on Thursday, Nov. 26, from 8-10:15 a.m.

The Fest is a sampler platter of the JCC’s five most popular group fitness classes served up in back-to-back 30-minute portions for two hours straight. How many servings you consume is up to you.

You could take the same class four times in a row, try four different classes, or just take in one or two half-hour workouts.

The classes comprising the Fitness Fest are Body Pump Express, a barbell workout set to fast-paced music; Cycle, a challenging stationary bicycle class; Boot Camp, an assortment of military exercises; J-Barre, a strength and flexibility-building fusion of yoga, dance and Pilates; and Yoga, a workout which mixes physical postures, or asanas, and breathing exercises.

Those who attend four different classes will be entered in a special Thanksgiving drawing. Donations of canned goods for the JCFS Food Pantry will also be accepted at the Pre-Feast Fitness Fest.
