Here’s what’s happening in Philadelphia.

Wait a minute — is that the end of summer creeping up on us? That happened fast… But the changing of the seasons means new fitness studios, cool events, and at least one or two final BBQs. So, check out what’s going on in the health and fitness world in Philly this week AND BEYOND!

💪 When There’s a Will, There’s a Workout

If you’re in Fishtown, Northern Liberties, or East Kensington, we hope you’re ready to sweat because a new studio’s coming to town, and they’re bringing some serious fire to the world of Philly fitness. WillPower Live has been hosting free pop-up workouts this summer, but they’re finally, officially opening their studio September 15! Sign up soon to take advantage of grand opening deals, and enjoy the free workouts until then.

🐾 Furry Friends and Fall Fitness

If you’ve got summertime sadness leading up to Labor Day Weekend, give yourself something to look forward to this October! Join Franklin & Whitman, EverybodyFights, honeygrow, and the Pennsylvania SPCA for a furry, fun, and fitness-filled fall night complete with a rooftop workout, plant-based dinner, kombucha mixed drinks, and adoptable puppies! These events always sell out immediately, so get the tix while you can — proceeds go back to the pups!

🚗 Wild Horse Road Trip?!

Attention: This Sunday is the National Park Service’s birthday. Before you go grabbing your party hats and streamers, maybe just lace up your sneaks, gas up the car, and take a trip south to explore one of the coolest parks around for free. We’re talking Maryland's Assateague Island National Seashore, where you can check out some wild horses. Fitt Tip: enjoy from afar; they’re wild.

⛰ Climb Every Mountain

The North Face wants to take your fitness to new heights on Global Climbing Day this August 24! They've teamed up with gyms all over the world to set up some awesome events, and that includes several Philly-area gyms like Philadelphia Rock Gyms in East Falls, Wyncote, and Fishtown, plus The Gravity Vault in Radnor! Sign up for free climbing, discounted lessons, raffles, giveaways, music, and more.

🚲 Farewell to Flywheel

We’ve gotta say, we were heartbroken to see that Flywheel Bryn Mawr is closing their doors for good August 29. This Lancaster Ave. studio has been a second home for many of Philly’s #FlyFam and we’ll miss them! We'll still have our rides in Center City, but if you need to start looking for other saddles, check out our guide.

The 1st Annual Camp No Worries Iron Gator Super Sprint Triathlon
If you’ve been toying with trying out a triathlon, there’s no better way to do it than with the Iron Gator Super Sprint Triathlon in Voorhees, NJ. Three events in one? It's basically the appetizer sampler of athletics, and we love that this one includes swimming in an indoor pool. Best of all, Iron Hill Brewery will be hosting a post-race party with live music and complimentary brews!

Aug

Bahhmaste at Goose Island
Sure, you’ve tried goat yoga. But how about bottle feeding the very goats you just posed with? Prepare for cuteness overload as Goose Island hosts the Horse and Goat Yoga team for an hour of extreme goat cuddles. Yes, you’ll flow. You’ll feed. Then, stick around for a complimentary pint of beer and feast on some of Goose Island’s offerings for brunch!

Aug

Bok Rooftop Yoga
Savasana at sunset — pretty perfect, right? Well, it’s even sweeter on the rooftop of Bok, followed by a tasty cocktail and endless city views. Every second and fourth Tuesday of each summer month, KG Strong (Bok’s resident fitness studio) is hosting their signature rooftop yoga series with some of the best instructors in Philly. Best part: 30% of the proceeds from all classes go to different nonprofits in the city!

Aug

Fall Race Party + Race Shirt Run
We can feel it. The temperatures will finally begin cooling down and fall race season is on the horizon! But, before you map out your schedule and register willy-nilly, join the Philadelphia Runner community as they bring local race organizers together. There will be a fun run at 6pm, then you’ll get back to the shop to register for your favorite local races at discounted rates, enjoy some beer, and for every race that you sign up for, you will receive a $5 credit to Philadelphia Runner.

ShoutOuts

Major shoutout to @lunamaye_, lead producer of Philly's Daybreaker and sound artist extraordinaire. Her soundbaths and meditation sessions throughout the city are the perfect way to escape the daily hustle and bustle, and she's kept us dancing every month! Wishing her the best time at Burning Man!
