Need some motivation to kickstart your health journey in 2025? How about free fitness and wellness classes? Yep, you read that correctly, FREE! I met the friendly Florida Blue crew at Pensacola Eggfest’s healthy grilling event last month and began learning about all the different services they offer that go beyond healthcare plans.
They gave me a tour of their space and then invited me out to try one of their fitness classes. I was pleasantly surprised by the yoga class I participated in and couldn’t believe that I was just learning about this option that was available to me for free. Especially considering the quality of the class. The hour long session was taught by a well-trained yoga instructor, Fabienne, who showed multiple modifications to her many poses, helped when needed and encouraged positivity throughout. I have taken plenty of yoga classes and I was pleasantly surprised by this one. See my recap video above.
Maybe fitness classes aren’t your thing? How about kickstarting your health journey by hearing from experts on how to form healthy habits, achieve your goals or master your motivation? Florida Blue also offers these sessions completely for free! See below for a schedule kicking off in January 2025. All classes are hosted at their Pensacola location at 1680 Airport Blvd.
