Solutions to Resolutions: Get Fit in Philadelphia

bloggraphics-treatment14

It’s so much easier to get motivated about doing anything fitness related when you have a friend by your side. We all have those days when you just don’t want to workout but your bud is counting on you, so off you go. You love-hate this person, but mostly love because you feel and look 💯. If you want to get into running or have a reason to wake up super early, we’ve listed some* Philadelphia-based groups that can be your friendly motivator!

City Fit Girls
City Fit Girls was created to connect  women with health & fitness resources and inspiration to live healthy lifestyles at home, school and in the workplace.


Be Well Philly Underground
Every month, Be Well Philly hosts top secret boot camps, spin classes, shopping parties, happy hours and more just for the Be Well Philly community. These are fun, insider-only events you won’t find anywhere else—but you have to be a Be Well Philly Underground member to get access.


Run 215
Run 215 is all about community, and advancing the positive culture of  running in Philadelphia. P.S. They’re super active on Facebook. Even if you don’t participate in their group runs, they’re a great online motivator.
