Why "Lot Fest"?

Working out in a parking lot during the pandemic is how a small group of friends coped with the uncertainty of what we were facing. We needed to stay connected, and stay fitness-focused.

Out of that experience, we realized how vitally important our fitness community is for our physical and mental well-being - so we built a new home for it and invite you to join!

This mini-fitness festival is a celebration of where we started and how far we can go...together!
‍
