Fayetteville offers several community fitness opportunities that are convenient and inexpensive to maintain an active lifestyle. Whether you prefer to work out outdoors, in a group, or on a budget option to a gym membership, there are several options to get moving without breaking the bank. The city trails and parks, such as the Razorback Greenway and Lake Fayetteville, are open spaces to jog, bike, and do bodyweight exercises for free. Local community centers, like the Yvonne Richardson Community Center, offer cheap fitness classes and access to machines, making organized exercise more accessible.

For social fitness enthusiasts, there are a variety of running clubs, bike clubs, and even outdoor yoga performed outdoors and provided free of charge with invitations extended to members of all skill levels. A great deal of the fitness culture in Fayetteville also provides pay-by-class options so one can try new exercise methods without committing to a costly membership agreement. For still lower costs, some use off-peak couponing, classes as packages, or promotions that become available as a discounted class or free exercise.

While these options are great for those who enjoy solo classes or group classes, those that require specialized equipment or personal training may be forced to consider traditional gym memberships. But Fayetteville's health-conscious population means that fitness is still available to everybody regardless of budget or ability.
