With the weather warming up, there are several area organizations that want to provide information to you about becoming healthier.
The 2nd annual George Mason University Prince William Campus Health and Fitness Expo will take place from 1o a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Freedom Aquatic and Fitness Center on Thursday, April 2.
There will be several demonstrations on healthy living, activities, health screenings, fitness challenges, and vendors at this year’s event.
The fair will provide George Mason students and community members with information on how to make healthier lifestyle choices, motivate others, and to help foster healthy relationships with those in the community, according to Freedom Aquatic and Fitness Center Manager Amanda Meiklejohn.
More than 80 vendors signed up to participate in this year’s event. They include health and wellness centers, nutritionists, dance studios, fitness retail stores, and health food outlets.
The Health and Fitness Expo will be held in the center’s open gym, said Meiklejohn.
Last’s year, the center welcomed more than 1,500 attendees to the first Prince William Campus Health and Fitness Expo.
The expo is free to attend and is sponsored again this year by Novant Health.
The Freedom Aquatic and Fitness Center is located at 9100 Freedom Center Boulevard in Manassas, just off University Boulevard and Prince William Parkway.
