Free Zumba Class, Each Wednesday during the lunch hour (Clinton Square)

Free Zumba Class,  Wednesdays during the lunch hour (Clinton Square)

How’s this for a lunch date.

Metro Fitness, under the direction of Randy Sabourin, has partnered with the City to offer free Zumba classes every Wednesday this summer (from 12:15 to 12:45) in Clinton Square.  Sabourin has been a personal fitness instructor downtown for about 20 years. He hopes the Zumba class and partnership will help get Central New York residents, especially those living and working downtown, in better shape.

The Metro Fitness club is located in Salina Place a few blocks from Clinton Square.

Zumba Instructor Lynn Underwood sets the pace.

Despite serious humidity and hazy sun, men, women and children decided to sweat and dance their way thru lunch.

According to Sabourin, the class yesterday was one of the smaller classes so far (more than a dozen participants).  The classes began last month and will run thru Labor Day.

The Redhouse kicked off their summer season by staging  a lively performance of Macbeth in Armory Square last night.  The show drew an audience of about 100 (of all ages) if you include downtown residents watching from above the square.

Upcoming performances of Macbeth, which are free,  will be held in Liverpool and Dewitt.

Today in Syracuse the temperature reached triple digits. It was hotter here than in Miami, FL. Many of the city’s park pools (such as Thornden Park above) reached capacity as residents fought the heat.
