Have you heard of plogging? No, that’s not a typo! Inspired by the Swedish fitness trend, plogging is the action of jogging while picking up trash. Plogga is a Swedish verb combined from the words “plocka upp” which means to pick up and “jogga” which means to jog.

To celebrate Earth Day 2023, YouFit Gyms, the popular nationwide fitness chain with 60 gyms across South Florida, is hosting its first annual Plogging Event on Saturday, April 22 at 10 AM at all 70 locations.  This great community-building event will not only help people get in their daily movement in a fun way, but it also helps clean up local communities and the environment. YouFit will supply the trash bags and gloves, and all guests have to do is RSVP and show up https://youfit.com/earthday .

The event is open to the public and kids are encouraged to join with their parents.

YouFit has locations all across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
