Wellness, Fitness and Recreation Programs

Welcome (back) to Around Town DC!

Whether you’re brand new to Around Town DC or have been with us for years, this guide will help you get started (or get re-oriented!) with our updated website and programs.

Step 1: Create an Account

The first step to participating in any of our programs is to create an account (even if you had an account on our old website).

Weekly Recurring Classes

Currently, no registration is required for ongoing weekly classes like exercise, art, or discussion groups. Please simply show up—virtually or in person. If a class reaches capacity, it will be marked as “(FULL)” on the calendar. We recommend checking the ATDC Updates Page regularly to check for any important alerts, such as cancellations, re-locations, etc.

  • If the class is in-person, check the event listing for location detaills and any supplies you need to bring. Once you arrive, please find the sign-in sheet and either check your name or write it clearly in an empty space so we can add you.
  • If the class is virtual, you’ll find the Zoom link on our “Virtual Program Links” page. Here’s how to find them:
    • Log in to your account
    • Hover your mouse over “My Account” (top right corner)
    • Select “Virtual Program Links” from the dropdown menu
      • For now, this page is visible to everyone. Starting August 2025, it will require login access.

Special Events

These one-time or monthly special events require an RSVP to attend. Examples include technology workshops, walking tours, educational seminars, community resource presntations, social events, and more. Look for the RSVP or Register button at the bottom of each event listing to save your spot.

How to Find the Right Programs for You

Check out our calendar (yellow button at the top right of the page) to see everything at a glance. You can view by day, week, or month–just click on the button on the far right of the calendar’s search bar. Hover over the title of a program to see a brief description, or click to open the full program listing for all the information. You can also search or filter programs to find what you’re most interested in.

    • Search by Venue— which can be found under the search bar on our calendar.
    • Search by Event Category— are you interested in in-person arts and social programs, virtual fitness programs, etc? This filter can be found under the search bar on the calendar.
    • Search by Tag— see all the tags in the filter under the search bar to prompt your imagination (like “fitness,” “music,” or “tech”)

We’ve also divided our programs into helpful categories, accessible from the homepage:

Stay Updated

Class cancellations or location changes will be posted on the ATDC Updates page (found in the top menu bar). Weekly email newsletters will eventually only highlight special events.
