Check Out Greenfield's Car-Free Weekends With Free Activities
Get fit without breaking the bank.
(SPOT.ph) We don't know about you but we have a sudden urge to exercise and get fit. Whether it's the effect of the ongoing Paris 2024 Olympics or because we want to revive a New Year's resolution this late in the game, we're in the mood to get physical.
Luckily, we don't have to spend a ton of money on gym memberships or workout sessions to get started because the Metro is ripe with free community wellness programs. Case in point: Greenfield District's Live Well program.
Smack dab in the middle of Mandaluyong is Greenfield District. The area is often associated with watering holes, food parks, and call centers but it takes on a new life during weekends and select periods during the week when it becomes car-free and a hub for wellness. If you work or live near the area, check out all the different free workout sessions you can join at Greenfield's Live Well.

Mandaleño Fencing is a sporting group originally exclusive to Mandaluyong residents. It started as a way to nurture young athletes who may represent the area in future competitions. For Greenfield's Live Well, they offer two classes: one for kids and one for adults.
The Beginners' Kids Fencing Class takes place every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This class is free for young prospective fencers looking to try out the sport. Adults are also welcome to try the sport with the Adult Fencing Classes. These sessions happen every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Note that, unlike the kids' classes, the adults' sessions come with a minimal fee to be paid during the class.

Think cardio-intensive sessions where you have to do hip and body rolls, light jumps, and simple choreography, all in the hopes of elevating your heart rate and burning off excess calories. Dance Fitness is a dance workout similar to aerobics which is designed to build muscular strength, mobility, and flexibility. If doing all this to fun, upbeat pop tracks is your idea of an early Saturday workout, head over to Greenfield every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m.
