Want the fun of a pub crawl without the pain of a hangover? This gym-hopping fitness crawl could be just what you’re looking for.
OK, so it’s not exactly like a pub crawl. First of all, there’s no booze. And secondly, there’s lots of fitness. So less shots, more squats.
But it’s a fantastic, sociable way to mix up your normal, boring gym routine and push yourself beyond your comfort zone.
The Virgin Active Club Crawl gets participants to run between three different gyms, taking part in a group exercise class at each site. Three runs and three classes? Pretty intense.
The three cross-club sprints will take you across London starting at Broadgate to Bank and finishing in Aldersgate. At each gym you will fit in a class of Yoga, Heat and Revolution Cycle – so you’ll literally be ticking every fitness box there is.
50% of women and 45% of men say that they no longer have a boozy night out in any given week – and more people than ever are choosing to avoid alcohol altogether. There is a rising demand for healthier ways to socialise – so the ‘gym crawl’ could be just what we need.
‘With people becoming increasingly more concerned with their fitness, there is a demand for more experience led and social events at our health clubs,’ says Matt Harras, group exercise manager for Virgin Active.
‘Our Club Crawl will bring together fitness lovers for a unique evening where we will all combat an abbreviated version of three of our key classes – and there will be no hangover the next day.’
Virgin has noted a rise in group exercise participation from their members, so this is the next evolution, and a chance for fitness lovers to make a full evening out of going to the gym.
To take part in the Club Crawl you have to be a Virgin Active member, which isn’t cheap. Packages at London’s Broadgate club start from £132 per month. Put there are deals that include no joining fee or getting your first month for free.
The Virgin Active Club Crawl will start at Broadgate studio at 6.45pm on Thursday 5th September.
