Orange Beach Adult Fitness Center

Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) —  Orange Beach Parks & Recreation is challenging residents and visitors to get moving this fall with a fun, fitness-focused program. The department is launching Fall Fitness Bingo, a monthlong activity challenge designed to encourage people of all fitness levels to stay active. The program is free to join, though registration is required before participating. Participants will receive a game card with a wide variety of activities to complete throughout the month.


The challenge runs from September 1 through September 30, giving players 30 days to complete activities on their cards. Finishing enough activities in a row to make a Bingo earns participants prizes and entries into a prize drawing. Those who complete every activity on the card will also qualify for the Blackout Bonus Prize Drawing, giving dedicated participants an extra shot at winning.


The program is open to everyone, regardless of their current fitness level. Orange Beach Parks & Recreation designed the activity options to be varied, so there is something for all types of movers. Whether someone prefers walking, stretching, or trying something entirely new, the game card is meant to encourage participants to mix up their routines in a low-pressure way.


Registration is required to participate, but there is no cost to sign up. Interested residents can register online through the Orange Beach activity registration portal at
