Fitness Court at Cobb's Hill
The Fitness Court at Cobb's Hill is the first outdoor court of its kind in New York State and makes physical fitness free and accessible to community residents. The fitness court was made possible through the support and generosity of MVP Health Care, as well as the National Fitness Campaign. Rochester was selected by the National Fitness Campaign as one of only 300 Cities nationwide to have an outdoor fitness court!
The outdoor circuit training system includes 30 pieces of equipment, allowing users of all skill levels to leverage their body weight at different angels and resistance levels to increase mobility and muscular strength. Residents can also take advantage of the free Fitness Court App which acts as a how-to guide and a "personal coach in your pocket." Be sure to go to Cobb's Hill and check out this new way to exercise!
