Please note: This Member Saturday has moved online. Register online, and you'll receive a Zoom webinar invitation in your inbox 24 hours prior to the event. With Zoom webinar, you will see and hear our speaker(s), but no one will see or hear you. Members will participate via virtual polls and text-based chat.

Join us via Zoom webinar for a virtual discussion about Ron Johnson's journey from incarceration to a career as a certified personal trainer. Plus, learn more about fitness at Eastern State.

Eastern State tour staff will discuss physical recreation throughout the penitentiary's history from individual exercise to games and sports. Ron will share his perspective on how and why fitness remains important in prisons today. He will discuss training his mind and body while he was incarcerated, and how these practices led to his current work as a personal trainer. The hour will end with a light online training session, appropriate for all abilities.

This event is free for all members. Reserve free tickets online.
