As the weather gets warmer in NYC, I’m SO excited for outdoor workouts. I personally still don’t feel comfortable working out inside in a group (maybe once I’m fully vaccinated) and while I’ve gotten used to taking Zoom classes in my living room, there’s nothing quite like the energy of working out in a group.
A number of studios and instructors are offering [socially distant!] outdoor workouts and classes. Last summer I had the most fun taking a rooftop yoga class at Vera Yoga and a kettlebell class with The Fhitting Room.
Here is a small list of some of the outdoor workouts I’ve found that are currently happening regularly in NYC.
A few notes about the list:
[ONE] This list is in no way exhaustive. It’s just some things I’ve found from my own research + the help of some awesome people on instagram. I’ll do my best to keep it up to date… but also please be patient with me as I’m a one-woman show here at the KITC HQ.
[TWO] I have not vetted nor have I taken some of these classes. Please please please use your judgment! Obey social distancing rules, wash your hands, and don’t attend a workout class if you are showing COVID-19 symptoms. You know the drill!
