Five classes down, seven more to go as the DowntownDC BID Workout Wednesdays exercise extravaganza continues in Franklin Park. Just completed: A** & Abs, which drew more than 50 participants who pushed their way through strenuous backside and abdominal muscle drills on Aug. 7.

Join the BID and our partners—Freshii (1005 E Street), City Sports (715 7th Street) and Crunch Fitness (555 12th Street), which will teach a different class each Wednesday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. through Sept. 25—for fabulous, free fun. It all takes place at 13th Street between I and K streets.

Up next:                    

Jillian Michaels Body Shred – Aug. 14

Killer X Training – Aug. 21

Pound! – Aug. 28

The freebies are to die for (well, sort of). City Sports handed out a $25 gift card, a cinch sack and T-shirt to a lucky participant at the last class, while Freshii continued to provide free water and fruit for the hardworking Workout Wednesdays participants. The BID giveaways included water bottles and towels.

Remember: register on Facebook to enter to win the BID’s weekly prize giveaway, which is distributed after each class. A grand prize will be distributed at the last class on Sept. 25. The prize will include a one-year Crunch membership; tennis shoes and a $100 gift card from City Sports; an ipod, courtesy the BID; and a Freshii gift certificate. To quality for this prize, you must attend at least three Workout Wednesdays classes.
