João Pessoa expands free public fitness program with new unit

The City Hall of João Pessoa has expanded its public health offerings by inaugurating a third Academia da Cidade unit in the Bancários neighborhood. Located at Praça da Paz, the new facility provides free access to weight training and physical exercises, all supervised by professional physical education instructors.

This expansion brings the total number of Academia da Cidade units in the city to three, joining existing locations in Cabo Branco and Colinas do Sul. According to the Secretariat of Youth, Sport, and Recreation (Sejer), these three units collectively serve approximately 20,000 users every month.

Beyond physical fitness, the program aims to promote social inclusion and mental health, catering to diverse groups including the elderly and individuals with special needs. Residents can manage their participation and schedule activities through the ‘MUDE’ mobile application.
