Raleigh, N.C. With indoor gyms currently closed due to the coronavirus, many people are seeking ways to still be active while being socially distant.

That's where fit RDU comes in. The company offers outdoor fitness classes in three Raleigh parks.

"We're a one stop shop for all types of fitness," fit RDU founder Libby Burton said.

Classes are held at Lions Park (516 Dennis Ave.), Midtown Park at North Hills (100 Chowan Cir.) and north Raleigh at Honeycutt Park (1032 Clear Creek Farm Drive).

People need to bring their own towels, water bottles, exercise mats and light weights (1 to 5 lbs). And if you don't have weights, no problem.

"We've had people bring gallons of water. We've had people bring cans of stuff. Things that they were doing in virtual classes to the park with them to use for a little extra strength training," Burton said.

Classes include fitYOGA, fitYOGA SCULPT, fitCORE and fitHIIT. More classes are being added in the coming months.

Workout stations are placed eight feet apart and masks are required before and after classes and anytime social distance cannot be maintained.

Burton said all fitness levels are welcome.

I want to remove the shame that is so often connected to exercise; there arent before and after photos or talk about bikini bods here, she said. Its beneficial for all of us physically and mentally to get out and move our bodies, especially right now with everything going on in our country. We should be able to do that with only positive self-talk. The body you have right now, is exactly the body youre meant to have today. And getting up, getting motivated to attend a class, thats amazing. Lets focus on and celebrate that."

People can see the class schedule and sign up for classes via the fit RDU app. The app also allows customers to "friend" each other so they can sign up for classes together.

"We need to connect with one another now more than ever. And so the app actually lets you friend each other," Burton said.

Individual classes can be booked and there is also unlimited class membership available.
