July | 2016 | Living Fit [Columbus]

Looking for a fun fitness event this summer? Join us on July 30th for a 5K and expo that is sure to include some of your most loved #shoplocal vendors! A few of our personal favorites in attendance include Bend Active, OrangeTheory Fitness, The Beauty Boost and several yoga studios.

Info from the Sweat Local media release: Sweat Local Columbus will be held on July 30 and will feature 30 local vendors from all aspects of health and fitness. Sweat Local Columbus will kick off at 8:30am with a 5K that is only $35. Runners and walkers will begin and end their run at Bridgewater Banquet and Conference Center, which will also be the site of the expo. The expo will be from 9am-2pm. Attendees can also choose from 12 free 30-minute fitness classes all day long. Registration for the 5k can be found at www.sweatlocalcolumbus.com, and entry to the expo is free!

The 5K is stroller friendly so bring the kids if you’d like, or come solo and enjoy some time to yourself. 🙂 We plan to do the race first, then stick around for some fitness, fun & of course photos after! Here is a tentative lineup (subject to change)…

This summer we are excited to have partnered with the Columbus Commons! They host a wide variety of events, several of which are fitness related.

FITNESS CLASSES

We’ve frequented Columbus Commons several times for fit events…we’ve run in races that ended there, attended yoga classes and even organized a RUN+YOGA event last summer with one of our favorite yoga studios, VPower Yoga. From the Commons website… “No contracts, no excuses! Among the park perks at Columbus Commons are free fitness classes. Sponsored by United Healthcareand instructed by Ohio Fit Club, you’ll find seven classes every week.” The summer fitness classes have two sessions, the second one starting August 1 and ending Oct 1. Stay tuned for another RUN+YOGA event with Living Fit Columbus & VPower Yoga at the Commons in late summer!

FOOD TRUCKS

Every Thursday from early May through late October, various food trucks take over! There are several that are there every week, along with rotating special trucks each month. We checked it out last Thursday and didn’t have any problem finding some healthy options.

Some trucks have beverages and some do not, so bring your own water bottle or bring $2 cash for your drink of choice.

Kids are welcome and there are plenty of things for them to do, including Jeni’s ice cream, a carousel and a miniature picnic area.

We really wanted to try Kinetic… but so did everyone else! The line was a tad too long, so we wandered around to find another healthy option. We chose the Mixing Bowl Asian Grill, with extra protein and light sauce.

COMMONS FOR KIDS

Every Friday the Commons hosts special events, just for littles! We will be attending this Friday, as well as having a GIVEAWAY, so check back soon. New this year, Kiddie Fitness classes are being offered from 10:30-11AM… we hope to make it to the July yoga class.
