This Fitness Court Studio was developed by MVP Health Care, Town of Chili and NFC to

Studio delivers the powerful seven minute full body workout on one side and a versatile
outdoor class area for enjoying yoga, Zumba, Pilates and other popular group wellness activities
on the opposite side.

for all fitness levels, allowing participants to move at their own pace. Users also may download
