Lewisville residents looking to get fit for free have reason to rejoice, with weekly exercise classes kicking off at Wayne Ferguson Plaza, as part of the "Old Town" Big Move initiative. With a lineup that includes everything from yoga to tai chi, the community-focused fitness regime is part of a broader strategy under the Lewisville 2025 vision plan which aims to vitalize the city's historic heart. The plan in its entirety can be scoped at the City of Lewisville, Texas.

Starting May 1st, except for Tai Chi Ch’uan Essential which commences on May 11, these classes are welcoming anyone looking to stretch, strengthen, or find their zen, with no class size limitations or reservations necessary. Yoga aficionados can unroll their mats for Blue Anjou Yoga Studio's sessions every Wednesday at 6 p.m., needing nothing but a mat or towel, and some water to stay hydrated. Anyone willing to test their limits can try the Bodyweight Strength Class on Thursdays at 6:15 p.m. with Case Cortez— a towel, fitness mat, and water are all that's required to join in this minimalist workout.

Weekend warriors can get into the act with Pilates in the Plaza courtesy of Audrey Green-Redier at 8:30 a.m. on Saturdays, guaranteed to please any level of Pilates pupil. Rounding out the regimen is Lowell Johnson's Tai Chi Ch’uan Essential at 9:30 a.m., showcasing the slow and smooth 22-movement form that asks for no more than comfortable clothes and flat-soled shoes. Participants in these get-moving gatherings can count on building their physical foundations while perhaps also finding a slice of serenity in the bustling cityscape.
