Fall Fitness: Outdoor Workouts & Indoor Classes at APEX

Fall is the perfect time to take your fitness outdoors! With cooler temps and colorful scenery, it’s easier than ever to stay active while enjoying the crisp air. Whether you’re a workout warrior or just getting into fitness, there are plenty of ways to get moving this season. From scenic parks to APEX’s fitness amenities, here’s how you can make the most of fall fitness.

Hit the Trails for a Scenic Run

A great way to take in the fall foliage is by running or jogging outside. Just 10 minutes from APEX is Tinker Nature Park, a beautiful spot with scenic trails perfect for a brisk run or walk. The 1.2-mile loop offers a mix of open fields and forested paths—ideal for soaking in autumn colors while burning some calories. If you prefer a longer route, the Genesee Valley Greenway offers over 90 miles of trails, and parts of it are just a short drive away.

Outdoor Workouts for Strength and Flexibility

Take your regular workout outside and enjoy the fresh fall air. Bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, and push-ups are easy to do in a park setting or even on the grass at APEX’s outdoor courtyard. Or, grab a yoga mat and head to Tinker Nature Park for an outdoor yoga session. The calm surroundings and cool breeze create the perfect zen vibe, and it’s an excellent way to stretch and strengthen your muscles.
