How we reported this
Baltimore Department of Recreation and Parks released its July through September group exercise roster on July 8, listing daily classes at multiple council facilities with openings for walk-in participants.
City data shows adult participation in these programs rose 22 percent from 2024 to 2025, a shift city officials link to expanded evening slots that accommodate shift workers along the waterfront and in industrial zones.
Key Locations Across the City
Two sites draw consistent crowds. The Robert C. Marshall Recreation Center at 3501 North Charles Street in Charles Village runs 45-minute HIIT sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:15 p.m. The Moravia Park Recreation Center at 4101 Moravia Park Drive in Northeast Baltimore schedules morning yoga flows on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:00 a.m. plus a Saturday spin class at 10:30 a.m. Both centers maintain air-conditioned rooms and provide mats and resistance bands at no extra charge.
Additional sessions appear at the Cherry Hill Recreation Center on 900 Cherry Hill Road, where staff added a new low-impact aqua aerobics block on Fridays at 11:00 a.m. in the indoor pool to serve residents in South Baltimore neighborhoods.

Resident rates stand at $4 per class or $35 for a ten-class punch card purchased at the front desk. Non-residents pay $6 per session. Online registration through the city's RecPro portal opens at 9:00 a.m. on July 12 for the next four-week block.
