The American College of Sports Medicine together with Anthem Foundation have released the 2019 ACSM American Fitness Index, a ranking of America's 100 largest cities by health and overall physical activity.

Minneapolis ranked 3rd fittest city in the nation with St. Paul not far behind at 7th fittest. Arlington, VA was named the fittest city in the country, according to the index.
