Glutes in the Gardens and Beyond: Community Workouts at Betty T. Ferguson
Community workouts are one of the easiest ways to get moving with your neighbors.
Saturday started strong at the Betty T. Ferguson Recreational Complex. Glutes in the Gardens, a community glute camp, ran from 7:00 to 11:00 this morning, capping a busy week of city wellness programs. If you missed it, or caught it and want more, here is how to keep the momentum going.
Betty T. Ferguson Recreational Complex: 3000 NW 199th Street, Miami Gardens. It is the home base for many of the city's community fitness programs. For upcoming classes, check the City of Miami Gardens calendar or call 305-622-8000.
What was Glutes in the Gardens?
As the name suggests, the camp centered on lower-body strength, the kind of work that helps with posture, balance, and everyday movement like climbing stairs and getting up from a chair. Community sessions like this are built so beginners and regulars can train side by side, which is exactly why they are worth watching for.

Parks and open space
You don't need a class to get moving. Walking paths, courts, and fields across the city are open to residents. Our Miami Gardens parks and recreation guide covers where to go.
How to get ready for your next session
Wear comfortable workout clothes and supportive sneakers. Bring a full water bottle, a towel, and a mat if you have one. Morning sessions are the smart move this time of year, since highs are still running in the upper 80s. Hydrate before you arrive and take breaks when you need them. If you have an injury or a health condition, check with your doctor before trying a new workout.
The Miami Hurricanes host Central Michigan at Hard Rock Stadium at 6:30 p.m. tonight, and the Dolphins host the Chiefs tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. Plan around stadium traffic if you are heading anywhere nearby.
