RYE BROOK, NY – October 1, 2026 —The Village of Rye Brook, MVP Health Care, and National Fitness Campaign (NFC), today announced a partnership that is bringing an outdoor Fitness Court® Studio and digital wellness programming to residents in Rye Brook. The Fitness Court® Studio, located at 840 King Street, finished installation in mid-September. There will be an Opening Ceremony with ribbon-cutting and demonstrations on Monday, October 5th at 12:00 noon.
This Fitness Court® Studio was developed by the Village of Rye Brook, MVP Health Care, and NFC to expand free access to high-quality workouts and create equitable access to exercise for communities across the region. The Fitness Court® Studio is the world’s best outdoor gym that lets users leverage their own body weight to get a complete workout using seven exercise stations. On the other side of the gym is a studio space where residents can stretch and use it for fitness classes such as Yoga, Zumba, or Tai Chi.
Created for adults of all abilities aged 14+, the Fitness Court® Studio workouts are adaptable for all fitness levels, allowing participants to move at their own pace. Users also may download the free Fitness Court® App which acts as a coach-in-your-pocket and enhances the outdoor gym into a digitally supported wellness experience. Rye Brook is one of 30+ Campaign Partners building a network of Fitness Courts across the state, with the help of MVP Health Care. It is the 2nd Fitness Court® in Westchester County, and the 1st Fitness Court® with a Studio. For information about th Fitness Court® Studio watch the video here.
“The village is thrilled to provide this free outdoor Fitness Court Studio for our residents” said Rye Brook Mayor Jason Klein. “This outdoor gym and studio, supported by a free App, further expands our Fitness Initiative Together (F.I.T.) program and builds upon the village’s priority to offer fitness opportunities for all ages and fitness abilities. We offer our sincere thanks to the National Fitness Program, MVP Health Care, and Sunrise Senior Living for working together to bring this unique facility and program to Rye Brook.”
“The launch of the MVP Health Care Fitness Court in Rye Brook is a step towards providing access to resources that can change the trajectory of someone’s health and wellness journey,” said MVP Health Care’s Chief Revenue Officer, Augusta Martin. “As a leading health care services company, investing in our local communities and offering new, innovative wellness options like the Fitness Court reinforces our commitment to giving back to the people we serve and places we call home. We are proud to partner with NFC and Rye Brook to bring this unique opportunity to the local community and look forward to seeing you on the Fitness Court.”
“We are excited to have Rye Brook join us in the journey to improve health and wellness as we work to make a powerful and long-lasting impact on health outcomes and happiness by building healthy communities across America,’’ said Mitch Menaged, founder of National Fitness Campaign. “The addition of the outdoor Fitness Court® Studio, along with digital wellness programming, demonstrates a tremendous commitment to the health and wellbeing within the community.”
"Sunrise is thrilled to sponsor the Fitness Court and celebrate Rye Brook’s dedication to community wellness," said David Murphy SVP of Hospitality for Sunrise Senior Living. "As we create our new independent living community nearby, we are crafting a lifestyle where wellness and active living are at the heart of our hospitality. This court is a perfect extension of that vision, and we look forward to seeing our future residents thrive here alongside the rest of the Rye Brook community." Sunrise will soon break ground on an approved independent living and senior living community at 900 King Street across the road from the Fitness Studio location. When completed, it will include approximately 230 rental residences with Independent Living suites, Assisted Living suites, and Townhomes.
