Bring a mat: Classes by Space Three are free at Courthouse Square, Oakwood Farmers’ Market

Sunshine and warm breezes for summertime means Space Three extends its offerings to outdoor spaces throughout the community.

The Downtown Dayton fitness studio, at 39 S. St. Clair St., is offering free classes at both Courthouse Square and the Oakwood Farmers’ Market on select dates from now through October. The community classes are a perfect fit for Space Three which is rooted in owner Lindsey Deck’s desire to create a supportive fitness community — a place to help people get healthy.

“We’re big supporters of Dayton and the surrounding communities where our members live,” Deck said. “It’s important for us to give back with free classes all while supporting community events. We want everyone to know how much fun Dayton can be.”

Space Three has been partnering with both the Downtown Dayton Partnership and the Oakwood Farmers’ Market since 2022.

“We love moving our bodies in the studio, but our free outdoor classes offer a unique opportunity to get out into the community and bring our offerings to a broader audience,” Deck said. “Fresh air and sunshine are a bonus.”

CURIO: Lunch Box

Space Three is part of the Summer in the City ZENsday lineup designed to provide opportunities to unwind, decompress and “zen-out” on Wednesdays from noon-2 p.m. throughout the summer at Courthouse Square. From games and live music to the free “Tone & Stretch” class, Wednesdays are an opportunity to relax midway through the work week.

“Through slow controlled movements you will tone, sculpt and strengthen your muscles while increasing your flexibility and decreasing muscle tension,” Deck said.

The 45-minute core-focused class is next offered on July 16 at noon. For more information, visit downtowndayton.org/things-to-do/curio.
