CityPlace West Palm Beach by Related Ross Welcomes Back District Fit as a Four-Day Festival of Fitness, Music & Wellness

Related Ross’s CityPlace hosts its Annual District Fit, presented by Cleveland Clinic, returning for the ninth year from Tuesday, April 7 through Saturday, April 11. What began as a high-energy, single-day fitness event has evolved into a four-day wellness experience, offering a dynamic line up of complimentary, ticketed programming across CityPlace and Hilton West Palm Beach. 

Now expanded into an extended line-up, District Fit reflects the growing momentum around health, longevity, restoration, and connection, shaping the lifestyle of West Palm Beach. From curated panels focused performance optimization to immersive activations and brand pop-ups along “Restore Row” on the CityPlace esplanade, the week brings together top instructors, medical experts, founders, and innovators at the forefront of modern wellness. 

“The response over the past few years has been incredible and inspired us to expand District Fit into a multi-day experience as we continue strengthening our focus on health and wellness in the community,” said Eileen Sturgis, Director of Marketing at Related Ross. “As wellness takes center stage globally, District Fit brings together innovators, leading brands, and dynamic cultural experiences in the heart of CityPlace—reinforcing its role as West Palm Beach’s premier gathering place.”

District Fit's main festival day will take place on Saturday, April 11, featuring a full schedule of fitness classes at both CityPlace and Hilton West Palm Beach in addition to Restore Row. Live DJ sets have been curated with input from Related Ross's partner, Palm Tree Crew. District Fit pairs best-in-class instructors with DJs from the South Florida region amplifying the atmosphere between classes and cap off the week's events with a live DJ set finale for attendees from 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM. 

This year’s schedule will feature 15+ complimentary classes with leading fitness brands including Equinox, Pvolve, TRX, Higher Order, HYROX with 1401 Athletics, Sweat 440, Celis Run Club, yoga with Lululemon, Traphouse, Jiu-Jitsu Self Defense + more. Elite instructors will lead the workouts, including Kenny Santucci, owner of The Strength Club and founder of New York City’s largest wellness festival Strong New York. Families can also join the action with Warrior Family Fit, an interactive experience led by Systema Floyd, where parents and kids train side-by-side through ninja obstacle courses, board breaking, sparring with a Sensei, and playful family challenges designed for all ages. Warrior Family Fit will take place on the front lawn at Hilton West Palm Beach. A full schedule of events can be found HERE. 

Set within a lush enclave at the heart of CityPlace, Restore Row will serve as a transportive corridor lined with leading wellness brand pop-ups, offering immersive experiences, product sampling, and expert guidance from top providers. Attendees can explore cutting-edge recovery technology from Hyperice—including hands-on access to Normatec boots with zero-gravity chairs and Hyperboots—sip wellness shots from Pura Vida, and take a spin on the smoothie bike or enjoy personalized stretching sessions with Cleveland Clinic. Additional highlights include refreshing coconuts from Olukai, an SPF and hydration station by Bluemercury, and a fuel-up bar from Gorgie, the popular sugar-free energy drink favored by stars like Alix Earle.

A VIP Lounge, designed by Perigold and presented by Cleveland Clinic, will offer a tranquil retreat at the heart of the festival. Thoughtfully curated as a space where vitality, connection, and elevated hospitality converge, the lounge provides guests with a comfortable home base to reset between classes and experiences throughout the day. This premium ticket offering includes curated wellness activations by Higher Order, plush seating by Perigold, and an atmosphere designed for deeper moments of connection and relaxation.

Each VIP ticket holder will receive complimentary valet parking and an exclusive tote filled with gifts from participating wellness brands. Proceeds from all VIP ticket sales will benefit The Path at The Park, a local nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to wellness, movement, and healthy living for all members of the community. Through impactful programming, outreach, and partnerships, The Path works to bridge the gap between those with access to health resources and those without.

Other highlights include an invite-only evening of insight and connection at the Related Ross Experiential Center, presented by Shorecrest. The gathering will bring together leading voices across fitness, wellness, and lifestyle for a dynamic exchange of ideas and perspectives. Curated in partnership with Athletech News founder and CEO Edward Hertzman, the evening will feature two expert-led panels exploring longevity and the evolving role of wellness, with industry leaders including Bernie Zarco (CEO Yoga Joint), Kim Ross (Founder ORA), Sean Hoess (Founder/CEO of Eudēmonia Summit), and Bertus Albertse (CEO JETSET Pilates), among others.

Guests will also experience a thoughtfully designed series of immersive activations, where ancient healing meets modern performance—from ORA ear seeding and Hyperice recovery to Higher Order sound immersion and elixir crafting. The experience will be complemented by nourishing bites from Island Kitchen, creating a seamless and restorative welcome.

“CityPlace was designed to be a gathering place for the community, and District Fit is a reflection of that vision in action,” said Webber Hudson, EVP of Related Ross. “We’re focused on creating experiences that activate our public spaces in meaningful ways, and bringing together thought leaders, brands, and residents in a way that feels authentic to West Palm Beach. Seeing this evolve into a multi-day celebration speaks to the kind of vibrant, connected city we’re continuing to build.”
