Labor Day means that summer is here and so is the summer 2011 session of WorkFit.

The summer session officially kicked off Tuesday, May 31. So bring your sweats! Grab a colleague!  Take a friend!  Nudge your spouse or siblings to join you.

New for Franklin is Yoga Toning on Fridays.  Both Franklin and Kaiser are enjoying Zumba.  If you haven’t tried it, now is the time!  WorkFit instructors can accommodate any skill level.
