Urban Recess (who really needs to turn off the sounds of kids screaming on a playground that automatically loops over and over when you visit their site, with no visible “sound OFF” button!) has relocated their operations from San Francisco to our own Portland (join the club). The program is for women, and instead of spinning or kickboxing or yoga, it’s a workout designed using old-school recess games (think tag, steal the bacon, kickball). Check ‘em out if you’re looking for a new routine; you can email the director, Karin Schmidt, for pricing and schedules.

Urban Recess: Just like the good ol’ days.
