The Leonard & Marjorie Williams YMCA (Website) in the Packing District is hosting Healthy Family Day on Saturday, August 1, an all-day event of hands-on activities aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles for the whole family. The event kicks off with an opening ceremony at 9 a.m. and runs through a closing celebration at 12:30 p.m.
Highlights include an NFL Combine Challenge, with 30-minute heats held throughout the morning and a Tug-of-War Championship closing out the day. Free group exercise showcases are also on the docket, including BodyPump Live, spin demonstrations, a kids dance session and cardio drumming, the latter of which sounds terrible.
Families can also sign up for complimentary 15-minute swim lessons, with YMCA staff on hand to recommend skill levels and discuss enrollment opportunities.
A DJ will provide music throughout the event, and attendees can grab snow cones and cotton candy (which doesn’t sound super healthy to be honest). An Orange County Fire Rescue fire truck will also be on-site.
