Shape Up NYC brings its free, high-energy Zumba class to Staten Island's FDR Boardwalk, where you can dance off a sweat with the Atlantic breeze and ocean views as your backdrop. The Latin-inspired cardio is beginner-friendly and led by a certified instructor, making it an easy, no-cost way to move and have fun outdoors. Just show up in workout clothes, follow the beat, and enjoy a feel-good morning by the sea.
What to expect
Expect an instructor-led Zumba session on the boardwalk, with a mix of regulars and newcomers following choreographed dance-cardio moves. No experience is needed. Wear sneakers and workout clothes, and bring water and sun protection.
