A veritable Who’s Who of the physical fitness world will convene in Atlanta to conduct one of the largest group workouts ever.

Atlanta’s Georgia Dome will house the first World Fitness Day on May 1. The event is being hosted by Jane Fonda. The purpose of the event is to make self-empowerment, health and wellness more of a lifelong priority in people’s lives.
