June Fogerty is bringing red, white, and blue to the mat this Independence Day weekend. The Hope resident will lead a special patriotic-themed Pilates class on July 3 at Ascent Mountain Fitness in Hope, combining fitness with Fourth of July spirit.
The class runs from 9 to 10 a.m. and welcomes first-time attendees at no charge. Participants are encouraged to wear patriotic colors, and Fogerty will lead the session to a soundtrack of patriotic songs.
“We’re celebrating with red, white, and blue attire, patriotic songs, and a focus on our ability to stretch, walk, dance, and live freely,” Fogerty said of the themed workout.
Fogerty, a lifelong Hope resident, brings a healthcare background to her fitness instruction. She retired from a career as an occupational therapist before transitioning to Pilates instruction in 2024. She now teaches regular Friday morning Pilates classes at Ascent Mountain Fitness.
The patriotic class offers Bonner County residents a chance to mark the holiday weekend with a community fitness event that blends core-strengthening exercise with civic celebration.
