Councilman Nick J. Mosby Launches "Get Fit with Councilman Mosby" Challenge at Mondawmin Mall
"Get Fit" Challenge offers fitness, nutrition and cooking classes free to the public
Baltimore, MD (January 6, 2014)-Tonight Councilman Nick J. Mosby will be joined by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young as he launches the 7th District "Get Fit with Councilman Mosby" Challenge, a three-month health initiative with the goal of providing opportunities for participants to exercise and change what and how they eat, without any cost to them.

They will also register for fitness classes with Bikram Yoga Hampden, Black Girls Run! Baltimore, Coppin Wellness Center, COR Fitness, Gwynns Falls Elementary School, Jubilee Arts, Mondawmin Mall, West Baltimore CARE and the Y of Central Maryland.
