NIFS is partnering with the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) on Monday, April 6 for World Day for Physical Activity. Special programs have been added to our schedule for seniors, kids and everyone in between.  Bring guests FREE all day so invite your kids (5 and over), parents, friends and neighbors!  Some of the activities will include:

  • Fitness Challenges - push-up and pull-up, rope pull, jump rope, Expresso bike race, BOSU balance challenge and more!
  • Nature Walk - at Noon, explore the NIFS "backyard" and see things you would never expect in downtown Indy
