Participants will meet at The Local where they'll be given a map and a starting location. Everyone will have 10 minutes to get to each spot and 10 minutes to exercise.

Here's a list of the studios/gyms:

• Amrita Yoga
• Balance Studios
• City Fitness Fishtown
• Crossfit Love
• Crossfit Novem
• Grace & Glory Yoga

Check-in starts at 11 a.m. The first workout will begin at 12:30 p.m. and the last will be at 2:10 p.m.

After finishing, participants will want to head back to The Local for a party where they can refuel with food and drink, including Sweetgreen and Weckerly's Ice Cream.

Tickets for the fitness event are $25 per team. The fee will go to Make the World Better Foundation, an organization that works with communities on urban redevelopment projects with a focus on youth, community engagement and the arts.
