NEW ORLEANS (press release) – The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel is bringing back its popular rooftop workout classes this fall starting on Oct. 17, in collaboration with Footprints To Fitness. The Sunset Soiree fitness series will feature a mix of yoga, Pilates and other exercises on Tuesday evenings at 6 p.m. on Oct. 17 and 24. The classes are open to locals and guests atop The Roosevelt New Orleans’ rooftop pool deck, overlooking beautiful views of the Crescent City.
A portion of the proceeds from this event will go to the Footprints Foundation, which partners with other local organizations to provide underserved New Orleans area communities with high-quality CPR/First Aid and fitness programming.
“Our springtime workout series was highly popular, so we decided to add more classes this fall,” said Tod Chambers, general manager, The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel. “The arrival of cooler weather makes our rooftop events especially appealing, and we are pleased to host this ‘happy hour’ with a healthy twist for hotel guests and our New Orleans community.”
“We are excited to partner with The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel again for a fun fitness series in this spectacular setting,” said April Dupre, wellness coach and founder, Footprints To Fitness. “Not only do our workouts benefit participants on their own health and fitness journeys, but they also raise funds for our foundation, which brings critically needed health and wellness programming to people who might otherwise not be able to afford it.”
Ahead of class and available post-workout, participants can place orders from The Roosevelt New Orleans’ menu, featuring healthy treats and small indulgences from Executive Chef Jason Schneider. Options include blue crab & avocado toast, fried shrimp & green tomatoes, Caesar salad, French market salad, an angus cheddar burger and a Beyond vegan burger. In addition to refreshing cocktails, the poolside bar will serve mocktails, including the passion fruit-forward Sweet Sunrise and the Nada Spritz, a non-alcoholic play on a classic Italian spritz.
