New Orleans-Inspired Ideas for New Year's Resolutions and Aspirations

With a motto that everybody is welcome and made to move, as well as tapping into the celebratory nature of the city, Move Ya Brass brings excitement to exercise. As a community and lifestyle fitness group, many of their classes and events are free, as supported by the New Orleans Recreation and Culture Fund. They also honor the New Orleans New Year for those who may need a reboot before Mardi Gras celebrations.

A Native New Orleanian, Thomas joined the Move Ya Brass Krewe in the second week of its inception and has helped the group with its administrative functions ever since.  Thomas’ drive to exercise stemmed from his own battle with Type-2 Diabetes, which drove him to run more and participate in many races & half marathons throughout the city.
