By Melanie Wilkinson

YORK – Cheree Folts, director of York Parks and Recreation, has announced the launch of the QR Fit Trail, a state-of-the-art fitness amenity now available along the Beaver Creek Trail.

“This new feature combines outdoor fitness with modern technology, creating an engaging and accessible workout experience for residents and visitors alike,” Folts explained.

“The QR Fit Trail, starting at Post 52 (right next to the tennis courts) and continuing through key points at Posts 48, 37, 28, 17 and 4, offers a series of fitness stations equipped with QR codes that can be scanned using a smartphone,” she said. “Each QR code links to short, easy-to-follow exercise videos designed for users of all fitness levels, making it easier than ever to engage in a dynamic workout while enjoying the natural beauty of Beaver Creek Trail.

“Whether you’re a beginner looking to get started on your fitness journey, or an experienced athlete seeking a challenging workout, the QR Fit Trail has something for everyone. From cardio exercises to strength training, each station features a different activity and users can follow along at their own pace,” Folts said.

Here’s how it works:
Scan the QR Code: Each fitness station along Beaver Creek Trail is clearly marked with a QR code.
Follow the video instructions: Scan the QR code using your smartphone, and watch a short video which demonstrates the exercise at that station.
Work out: Perform the exercise at your own pace and enjoy the benefits of a full-body workout.
Track your progress: You can repeat the circuit or try different exercises at each station, creating a customized workout that suits your needs.
“We are thrilled to offer the QR Fit Trail as a fun and innovative way for individuals to stay active while exploring the outdoors,” Folts said. “This new amenity encourages people of all ages to engage in physical activity, whether they are looking to build strength, increase flexibility, or simply enjoy a walk in nature. The QR Fit Trail combines technology and fitness in a unique way that we hope will inspire our community to live healthier lives.”

The QR Fit Trail is free to use. All fitness levels are welcome and no special equipment is required beyond a smartphone. For more information about the QR Fit Trail and other park amenities, visit www.yorkparksandrec.com
