Horsham Township becomes the first official partner for Independence Blue Cross Wellness Campaign

(HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA) — Independence Blue Cross (IBX) and National Fitness Campaign (NFC) today celebrated Horsham Township becoming the first official partner in the IBX wellness campaign in the Philadelphia region. The IBX Fitness Court at Lukens park, which originally launched to the community in 2020, reopened today with modernized equipment and a completely renovated space ready for users of all fitness abilities. 

A ribbon-cutting event on October 15th, celebrated the commitment between Horsham Township, IBX and NFC to expand free access to high-quality workouts and create equitable access to exercise for communities across the region. The Fitness Court® outdoor gym lets users leverage their own body weight to get a complete workout using seven exercise stations.  

“As an organization deeply rooted in this region, Independence Blue Cross is proud to celebrate the newly renovated IBX Fitness Court in Horsham—a testament to the power of true community partnership,” said X “IBX”s ongoing commitment to providing accessible, high-quality health and well-being resources across the five-county area reflects our dedication to helping every individual thrive. By investing in programs that strengthen and empower our communities, we are building a healthier, more inclusive future for all.”

Created for adults of all abilities aged 14+, the Fitness Court® workouts are adaptable for all fitness levels, allowing participants to move at their own pace. Users also may download the free Fitness Court® App which acts as a coach-in-your-pocket and enhances the outdoor gym into a digitally supported wellness experience.  

“National Fitness Campaign is excited to see Horsham Township impacting the lives of their residents with consistent and engaging community workouts out on the Fitness Court,” said Mitch Menaged, founder of National Fitness Campaign. “We are excited to see the Township join the IBX regional wellness campaign as the leading healthy community in the Philadelphia area.”
