Get Your Heart Rate Up in the Railyard
You’ve watched the same online fitness video hundreds of times now and run your neighborhood jogging route so many times you could navigate it in your sleep. You know that it’s time to switch up your routine, but it’s hard to find ways to stay active during the pandemic. Thankfully, The Railyard can help!
If you’re ready to get your heart rate up while still staying safe during this time, head down to The Railyard in the Historic Haymarket District! You’ll find a wide variety of ways to get outside, get active, and have fun while still adhering to social distancing guidelines. Check out some of the best activities we have going on!
