The New Life Fitness Ministry is an exciting ministry offered by the New Life Wesleyan Church of La Plata, Maryland. The purpose of this ministry is to lead people to a higher level of health through exercise and improved nutrition so that they may better pursue God's purpose for them. The ministry offers fitness classes and educational seminars. Trinity Fitness provides the instructors for all of the ministry's fitness classes.

Fitness classes will not be held on holidays unless the individual instructor specifically states otherwise.  During times of inclement weather, the fitness ministry will follow the lead of the Charles County School System.  So on days schools are closed for snow for example, class will not take place.

Please feel free to drop in on any of the classes/seminars as all of them are open to the public (not just the congregation of the church). Unless otherwise noted all classes are held at:

9690 Shepherd's Creek Place
La Plata, MD 20646
