There’ are a lot of great events coming up over the next month, many for a great cause. Check them out below and see which ones I’m planning to attend…
What: New Balance Girl’s Night Out: Knock out Cancer
more details and why over at Fun Fit Flavor
When: Thurs 10/15 6pm
Where:New Balance, Boylston
Cost: Free
Sign up: #NBGNO website
Bring/Wear: As always with NBGNO events, you may find yourself in the run group vs. the group class. So I’d recommend layers and sneaks that work for either. Pulling out the pink gear also seems appropriate here.
Teacher/Host: Emceed by @funfitflavor; taught by @SusanReardonFit & @kickitbyeliza special feature by Dr. Priscilla Brastianos from MGH
Sponsor/Partners:
See you there: Yes! One of my favorite fitness events for an important cause? You bet. As P & I quickly exchanged texts “sign up first, figured it out second”.
What: 3 Part Self-Defense Series
More info via BostonMagazine.com
When: Sat 10/17, 10/24, 10/31
Where: The Club by George Foreman
Cost: Free – open to Southie, Seaport & Fort Point residences only
Sign up: EBF website
Bring/Wear: “Fighters Wear Black”
Teacher/Host: Gershon Ben Keren
Sponsor/Partners: None
See you there: TBD. I think it’s awesome that the EBF team is offering this and think it’s important (both my parents are black belts but I unfortunately those skills didn’t carry over genetically) but tough timing with half training.
What: Yoga & Brunch : Power Yoga Class hosted by Healthworks Chestnut Hill + brunch special at The Cottage
When: Sundays at 9am 10/4 – 10/18
Where: Healthworks Chestnut Hill + The Cottage
Cost: varies based on what you get for brunch
Sign up: Eventbrite
Bring/Wear: All those “10 looks to wear from yoga to brunch” – now would be a good time to pull up that bookmark. No word on mats, given it’s a gym I’d think they have some but you can never fail with BYOM(at)
Teacher/Host: Healthworks Chestnut Hill
Sponsor/Partners: None
See you there: Yes! CC and I made a #fitdate for next Sunday.
What: Piloxing: The Fusion of Cardio, Boxing, & Pilates with Ali Baldassare

Where: North End Yoga
Cost: $25
Sign up: North End Yoga website
Bring/Wear: what does one wear to piloxing? Is there a look? Definitely can’t pull off Ali’s look above but I’d imagine anything you can sweat and move in.
Teacher/Host: Ali Baldassare
Sponsor/Partners: None
See you there: No. So many events, so little time. I’ll be yoga & bunching but love Ali’s classes and would love to try out piloxing.
What:Shop for a Cause with Athleta & LOLA to Benefit Healthworks Community Fitness

Sponsor/Partners Charity:
See you there: TBD. I recently learned about this non-profit and want to check it out more. In the mean time I encourage those that can to go support – maybe while rewarding yourself with some new gear to wear to one of the events below?
What: Free unspecified workout with Public Body (I’m imagining bootcamp style)
When: Sun 10/25 10:30am (check in at 10:15am)
Where: meeting spot is South End Athletic Company but it mentions “from there we’ll head to the parks, complete the workout and do a little good for the community! “
Cost: donation of small toy “as prizes for kids who must complete an MRI in order to determine their path for treatment”
Sign up: Eventbrite
Bring/Wear: Maybe. Bring a toy. Wear …uh….workout clothes? I’d go for layers since the word outside is mentioned.
Teacher/Host: “Join the PUBLIC BODY team, SEACs Dan Fitzgerald and a guest team of some of Boston’s hottest trainers…”
Sponsor/Partners Charity:
See you there: Still in pencil on the calendar but am trying to make this one work. Another great cause, a new workout / fitness instructor and pushing myself out of my comfort zone? Hard to pass.
What: Halloween Glow Yoga
Get your yogi costumes ready! Acorn Yoga is hosting their signature Glow Yoga class with a spooky spin. Expect all your favorite Glow Yoga goodies (black lights, glow sticks, glow paint), combined with a vinyasa flow, some cardio dance, and Halloween tunes to match!
