This Fitness Court® was developed by The Innovation Partnership, a collaboration between MVP Health Care and Albany County, and NFC to expand free access to high-quality workouts and create equitable access to exercise for communities across the region. The Fitness Court® is the world's best outdoor gym that lets users leverage their own body weight to get a complete workout using seven exercise stations. Created for adults of all abilities aged 14+, the Fitness Court® workouts are adaptable for all fitness levels, allowing participants to move at their own pace. Users also may download the free Fitness Court® App which acts as a coach-in-your-pocket and enhances the outdoor gym into a digitally supported wellness experience. The Towne of Berne is one of 30+ Campaign Partners building a network of Fitness Courts across the state, with the help of MVP Health Care. "Today's ribbon cutting is about more than celebrating a new outdoor fitness court, it's about celebrating what happens when we work together to strengthen our community. By partnering with MVP Healthcare, the Innovation Partnership is able to bring forward an investment in public health that is free, accessible, and open to all. This court will give residents the chance to get active, connect with neighbors, and enjoy the outdoors. Our community's health is one of our greatest assets, and projects like this are a reminder that when we prioritize wellness, everyone benefits," said Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy. "The launch of the Fitness Court in the Town of Berne marks a meaningful step toward expanding access to well-being resources that can transform lives," said Augusta Martin, Chief Market Strategy and Product Officer at MVP Health Care.
