A Bloc party downtown

After a $180-million renovation turned Macy’s Plaza into the Bloc, the center’s operators added fitness events. The monthly FitspoLA workouts on the 34th floor rooftop have featured the Pound workout, a high-intensity interval training that uses yoga and Pilates-inspired movements: Participants beat weighted drumsticks to energizing music while overlooking downtown and the Hollywood Hills. “Instead of just taking a Pilates or a spin class, people are really looking for something that is more engaging and has more of an entertainment aspect,” said Meg Byrne, branding and marketing manager at the Bloc.

When: Doors open 6 p.m. July 25, Aug. 15 and Sept. 19.

Where: 750 W. 7th St. (Parking at 700 S. Flower St.) Cost: Free to tenants of the Bloc; otherwise, $10 plus tax.
