Pizza and pumpkin, frijoles and facials, it’s a big week for Fitt Philly, foodies, and fun. Let’s not waste too much time with small talk — chances are, you’re just here to figure out when you’ll finally be able to get into that infamous Red Room at Barry’s.
Here’s what’s going on in the healthy-living sphere in Philly this week and beyond!

🥊 Time For The Rittenhouse Red Room
FINALLY. We’ve been waiting for a while now for an official opening date for Barry’s Bootcamp in Philadelphia. They finally announced they’re opening the doors to the Rittenhouse Red Room in November, and we couldn’t be more thankful. They’re bringing their incredibly popular cardio-strength workout to Sansom Street, and if you sign up for email updates, you can be the first to know when class sign-ups go live.

☕️ Pumped Up PSL
Old City’s The Wellness Refinery describes itself as a “holistic healing sanctuary” offering infrared saunas and an extensive wellness-focused tonic bar. But that doesn’t mean they can’t get behind a seasonal drink, and their “PCL”, a Pumpkin Caramel Latte, is made with real pumpkin, date caramel, homemade pumpkin spice, @wylde.one Brain Buzz, and your choice of milk. It’s our newest obsession of the season.

💪 Cutting Edge In Plymouth Meeting
Sure, you could kill time in Plymouth Meeting at the mall or Dave & Buster’s… but if you’re looking for something that gets the blood pumping a bit more than video games, get excited — The newest of The Edge Fitness Clubs is opening this month! They’re celebrating with a Grand Opening Party October 26, including free workouts, raffle prizes, music, and food, inviting the whole community to check out the new facility!

💫 Heyday Hooray!
We all know that #selfcare is more than skin deep. That’s why, when we heard popular facial shop Heyday was opening their first storefront outside of LA and New York City in Rittenhouse, our skin started tingling. They offer a variety of skincare services, including add-ons like CBD, gua shua, and LED lighting to treat those winter blues. Their doors are opening October 16, and their books are already starting to fill up, but you can add your name to the schedule here.

😋 Condesa All Day
The restaurant group known for its gorgeous restaurants like Suraya and Pizzeria Beddia just launched dinner service at their newest venture, Condesa. This Mexican-inspired spot is bright and airy, and it’s practically paradise for those avoiding gluten, as all their heirloom corn-based tortillas are made from scratch in-house. Get there ASAP, order the Octopus and Bean Tlayuda, and thank us later.

Hallowed Half Marathon Weekend
Gone are the wild crowds and the ravenous seagulls — the shore in the fall is a whole different ball game. And there’s no better time than mid-autumn to visit your favorite shore town for Cape May’s Hallowed Half Marathon Weekend! Kick things off Friday night with a fun 5k, and then don your finest costume for Saturday's half-marathon (individual and relay options!). It's going to be a spooky good time.

🍕 In Other News
Oh, sweet cheesus — it’s finally HERE. The Philadelphia location of Emmy Squared Pizza opens this week (October 11)! TBH, we’ve been salivating ever since we first read the news in the spring that they were opening in Queen Village. Sure, their Detroit-style pizzas are basically rectangles of crunchy-crusted paradise, but they’ve also got some incredible sandwiches on pretzel roll buns, and don’t sleep on their waffle fries. Get ready to be ruined for all other burgers and pizzas...
