Free FitLot™ Outdoor Fitness Park Classes at Henry Benavidez Community Center

The City of Las Cruces has teamed up with AARP and FitLot™ to create a fitness park at Henry Benavidez Community Center, 1045 McClure Road.

Starting Tuesday, April 11, 2023, free fitness classes will be offered. Free introductory classes and weekly sessions aim to increase access to physical fitness activities, encourage community and neighborhood connection, and help the community reach its health and wellness goals.

All classes are taught by certified trainers utilizing the Method Circuit Training developed by FitLot™. Classes are offered at no cost and registration is now open. Class dates, times, and registration details are available at https://fitlot.org/parks/las-cruces/.

FitLot™ is inclusive of all adult ages and abilities, and the free classes create opportunities for any community member to learn how to safely and properly use the equipment. Each piece of equipment has an instructional sign with a QR code. Scan the QR code to visit the Library of Movements, at https://fitlot.org/library/and watch a brief instructional video on how to use each piece of equipment.

FitLot™ suggests participants attend an introductory class before registering for an ongoing eight-week FitLot™ Method Circuit Training Session or a drop-in class.

Learn more about the individual classes at the FitLot™webpage.

  • Intro to FitLot™
    These one-hour intro classes will help you learn proper movement, safe equipment use, and the format of a FitLot™ circuit training class in a slow-paced, light effort instructional setting.
  • Drop-In
    In these one-hour drop-in classes, you will experience a full FitLot™ circuit training workout without having to sign up for the eight-week commitment of a Series.

Eight-Week Series
These one-hour circuit training classes provide a full-body and fun workout that all ages and abilities can benefit from. Signing up for the eight-week series will include training twice a week for eight weeks.

Although classes are free, participants must register in advance, including drop-in classes. Please register online at https://fitlot.org/parks/las-cruces/.
