New years resolutions for getting fit might look a little different this year due to all of the COVID restrictions that we currently have to follow. Don’t worry, there are still plenty of ways to stay fit in the Triad while staying safe and we are going to break down a few places that you can visit to achieve your goals!
Get outside and get moving! Greensboro, High Point, and Winston-Salem all have a ton of awesome walking trails and parks for you to explore on those warmer days. The Bicentennial Greenway in Greensboro stretches 14.5 miles across the city, through the woods and alongside Battleground Road - with just 3.5 miles needing to be completed to connect the city of Greensboro to the city of High Point. Armstrong Park in High Point is another awesome recreation area with creeks lining their trails and plenty of shade with playgrounds, picnic areas, and athletic fields/courts. With boating, fishing, and walking trails, Salem Lake Trail in Winston-Salem is the perfect spot for residents of Winston-Salem and Kernersville to take in nature and enjoy some scenic views.
Outdoor exercise is a great option during this time of COVID and all of the restrictions, but we know that 60 degree days in January are far and few between, so we have some indoor facilities that might be better suited for you. Be aware that mask wearing and social distancing will likely be required in many of these indoor fitness centers below.
-F45 Training is a popular spot across the Triad which combines functional training, circuit and HIIT style workouts geared towards everyday movement.
-9Round Fitness is a kickbox fitness center with two locations, one in Greensboro and one in Winston-Salem.
-There are CrossFit gyms located in Winston-Salem, Kernersville, Oak Ridge, High Point, and Greensboro.
-Club Pilates is a reformer based workout with two convenient locations in Greensboro and Winston-Salem.
-For a more classic gym feel, the Piedmont Triad has plenty of Planet Fitness locations.
