Wellness on the Water kicks off in August with local Alexandria studio The MVMMT Society bringing some high fitness to the pier this summer. The MVMMT Society team is excited to bring their most-waitlisted class to the waterfront at Robinson Landing Pier. HIGH fitness is "Old School Aerobics made Modern." Cardio and toning meets Jane Fonda with a side of Richard Simmons. You will have a blast, see real results both physically and mentally, and leave this class wanting more because it’s so much fun.
The revival of this fitness trend has quickly become the hottest new workout across Canada and the US. HIGH fitness has famous names and faces getting their sweat on in classes: Julianne Hough, Rachel Parcell, the LA Laker Dancers, and more. Class is 45 minutes and is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. No equipment is required. Wear sneakers and workout clothes. Registration is required in advance.

Archaeology Along the Waterfront
Noon - 4 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 15
Celebrate Virginia Archaeology Month with Robinson Landing and Alexandria Archaeology! The current site of Robinson Landing included one of the two original deep-water landings in Alexandria and was later added to during the late 18th and early 19th century banking-out process that created new land along the waterfront. Test your 18th-century engineering skills and figure out a way to make new land without having it wash away into the Potomac, take part in block-wide Scavenger Hunt, and join City archaeologists on timed walking tours of Robinson Landing. The event is free and open to the public, but tours are limited. To reserve guided tour slots, visit here. Guided Tour Times: 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. (30 min each)
