DeKalb County residents can now make use of six low or no cost locations to work out and get involved in fitness activities, the county health board announced Tuesday.
The locations are in churches around the county and are offering services thanks to a partnership with the board and the Centers for Disease Control. Adults and kids can participate in activities such as Zumba, basketball, indoor soccer, weight training and walking groups.
