Get Fit Sunnyside, the annual fitness campaign encouraging Sunnyside residents to get active through discounted classes and healthy food deals, has returned for its fourth year, just in time for summer.
Hosted by the Sunnyside Shines Business Improvement District (BID), the campaign launched Wednesday, June 25, and runs through July 9. This year’s initiative features special offers at 16 neighborhood businesses.
From two-for-one yoga sessions to discounted Zumba classes and free personal training, Get Fit Sunnyside is designed to motivate locals to embrace healthier lifestyles while also boosting foot traffic to fitness and wellness-related businesses.
The campaign is supported by the offices of State Sen. Mike Gianaris, Assembly Member Claire Valdez, and Council Member Julie Won, with additional backing from the New York City Department of Small Business Services (SBS).
Dirk McCall de Palomá, executive director of Sunnyside Shines, called the campaign’s fourth year a “great opportunity” for residents and businesses alike.
F45 Training is one of the participating businesses in the newly-launched campaign.
“Check out all of the amazing offers and go try some new food venues and try some exercise classes,” McCall de Palomá said in a statement.
Council Member Won said the program promotes health and community wellness by encouraging physical activity, healthy eating, and support for local commerce.
“I am excited to co-sponsor Sunnyside Shines’ Get Fit Sunnyside, so that we continue nurturing our community’s health and wellness,” she said.
Gianaris praised the two-week effort for offering incentives to stay active and access nutritious food options, while Valdez emphasized the campaign’s dual role in promoting fitness and supporting small businesses.
“Whether you’re learning how to lift or want to step up your Salsa moves, there’s no better time to focus on your health and wellness,” Valdez said in a statement.
Participating businesses include the newly opened F45 Training on Queens Boulevard and dance studio Dance Matters NYC. The campaign also features healthy food promotions, such as discounted smoothies at Full Moon Café and Empire Shop.
