What to Expect at FREE FIT DAY
We’ve planned a morning that gives you plenty of ways to participate. Do as much or as little as you want.
7:00 a.m. — Check-In, Stretching + Warmups
Meet us at Jefferson Fit, check in and get ready for the morning with stretching and warmups.
Come with a friend, meet some new people and get comfortable before we head out.
7:30 a.m. — Downtown Sarasota 5K Run/Walk
We’ll head out together for a 5K through downtown Sarasota.
Run it. Walk it. Mix the two. The goal isn’t to be the fastest person out there. It’s to get moving and enjoy doing it with other people.
8:00 a.m. — Mini Workouts + Fitness Activities
After the 5K, we’ll return to Jefferson Fit for a mix of short workouts and activities led by members of the Jefferson Fit team.
You’ll have a chance to experience different types of training, including strength, cardio, HIIT and other instructor-led activities.
You don’t have to take every class or complete every workout. Pick what sounds good and give it a try.
Put Yourself to the Test
Feeling competitive?
We’ll also have a friendly fitness challenge during the morning for anyone who wants to put their skills to the test.
No pressure. Bragging rights are encouraged.
Try Jefferson Fit's Recovery Amenities
Working out is only part of feeling your best.
During FREE FIT DAY, you can also explore the recovery side of Jefferson Fit, including amenities such as:
Cold plunge
Dry sauna
Infrared sauna
HaloRed salt + red light therapy
Hyperice compression therapy
Recovery lounge
It’s a chance to see how training and recovery can work together under one roof.
Coffee, Snacks + Time to Connect
Stick around after your workout for coffee from Sarasota Sips, snacks and time to connect with other people from the Sarasota fitness community.
One of the ideas behind FREE FIT DAY is simple: create a place where people who already love fitness can connect, while also making it comfortable for people who simply want to become more active.
Join Jefferson Fit for FREE FIT DAY on Sunday, September 6, from 7–10 a.m. in downtown Sarasota. Free and open to all fitness levels.
Who Is FREE FIT DAY For?
Everyone.
You might be training for your next race or fitness competition. You might be getting back into a workout routine. You might be looking for a gym in downtown Sarasota. Or you might simply want to spend a Sunday morning doing something active.
You do not need to be a Jefferson Fit member.
You do not need to be in a certain level of shape.
And you don't have to participate in everything.
Current Jefferson Fit members are encouraged to bring friends and family, too.
Come Experience Jefferson Fit
Jefferson Fit was built around the idea that fitness, recovery and community can all be part of the same experience.
FREE FIT DAY gives you a chance to experience that for yourself without a membership or commitment.
And this isn't planned as a one-time event. Our goal is to make FREE FIT DAY a monthly opportunity for Sarasota's fitness community to get together, get active and welcome new people into the mix.
