Monday, March 18, 2019
This weekend on FYI Philly we are springing into shape with our fitness circuit for you to check out. We run down some new gyms with different styles to get you fit with everything from water workouts to boxing. We do a little tango training and dance our way to wellness. We round up some ways to get you off the couch and in the game, on the trail and ways to unwind after your workout. Plus, a great recipe for breakfast or after a workout.
