13 Food- (and Booze-) Focused Fitness Events Happening This Month
Exercising sure does work up an appetite, huh? But here’s a thought: Instead of face planting into whatever’s in your fridge post-gym, you could sign up for one of these 13 food- or booze-focused fitness events. That’s what we call a good, old fashioned win-win.
August 19-21
Warrior Weekend: This event is far heavier on fitness than food, but we say that’s never a bad thing. Join SUP-YO for stand-up paddleboard yoga on Friday; Charlestown Cycling Club for cycling on Saturday; Dare U Fitness for bootcamp on Sunday; and Blackmoor Bar and Kitchen for Sunday brunch.
$35, multiple dates, times, and locations, dareufitness.com.
