The Best Outdoor Workout Classes in Washington, DC
DC can be a gorgeous, sunny place to get an outdoor workout in, and thankfully we have a number of classes to get you going. Many of these are free, so read on to see how you can spend some time outdoors and get some exercise clocked at the same time.
Sweat DC
If you like your fitness with a bit of fun, Sweat DC is the class to join. This pop-up style workout occasionally has classes on the rooftop of an apartment building or a park, and is a combination of cardio, weight training, and yoga elements all set to upbeat music. You can buy a drop in class, a package, or sign up via ClassPass.
TriFit at Farragut
This summer series of three different workout classes, three nights a week run through September. Yoga on Tuesdays at Farragut Park, barre on Wednesdays at the Plaza at 2100 M, and Pilates on Thursdays at Farragut Park mean you can get many of your weekly workouts in with a dose of the summer air. Check out the website for more details.
November Project
November Project runs year-round, but now is as good a time as any to start. They conduct workouts in the mornings on Mondays at either Meridian Hill Park or Capitol Hill, on Wednesdays at the Lincoln Memorial, and at other locations on Fridays announced via their blog. Choose from a free, endorphin fueled workout and join the tribe.
REI Run Club
Starting at Wundergarten, a beer garden near REI’s flagship NoMa store, the REI Run Club organizes runs at 6.30pm on Tuesdays. This run is good for beginners and more advanced runners alike, with the club keeping a ten to 11-minute-per-mile pace for three miles. Also, is there anything better than ending a run at a beer garden?
