To help you get started, we’ve rounded up four unique fitness options in Fort Worth to try out.

🐐 Goat yoga Tarrant County Goat Yoga | Goat yoga events throughout Tarrant County
Down dogs, meet goats. Yoga is a great way to stay active and manage stress, and interacting with animals reduces cortisol (aka the stress hormone), so adding animals to a yoga class is the perfect way to take relaxation up a notch. The next goat yoga class is happening Sat., Aug. 27 from 9-10 a.m. at Victory Forest Community Center (3427 Hemphill St.). Just bring a mat and get ready to meet your new yoga partners.
🥊 Boxing University of Hard Knocks | 7616 Camp Bowie West Blvd.
These lessons pack a punch. Boxing is a fun, high-intensity workout that can help improve heart health, boost whole body strength + more while working up a sweat.
Pack your gloves, hand wraps, and a jump rope, and get ready to get moving in an hour-long class. 🧘 Aerial yoga

Think: A new way to hang out. Take your fitness routine to new heights by trying an aerial yoga class, in which participants practice poses while being supported + assisted by sturdy silk fabric. Blue Feather offers beginner-friendly classes as well as more challenging classes for those ready to soar.
🕺 Nightclub-inspired workout Body Machine Fitness Fort Worth | 2300 W. 7th St.
Get your groove on and your heart rate pumping. Body Machine Fitness brings the party to the workout with 45-minute, interval-based classes with lights, music + dance moves, so you can put on a performance while burning calories. Bonus: Guests can try their first class free.
Pro tip: Be sure to stay hydrated while you’re burning those calories. Keep plenty of water handy and Drink Up.* |
