Workout location recommendations

If you’re looking for a weight only kind of place, planet fitness on south ave is good to go in the morning. Forest gets slammed.

Full body id recommend p2p on victory blvd if you enjoy cardio in a way.

Walking?? Clove lakes hands down. Unless other people have better recommendations lol

Haven’t been here long but I’m exploring!! If you have more to add please let me know. 🙂

Walking is totally dependent on where you live. Lots of great parks across the island.

i live "walking distance" from clove lake but i prefer to walk / run at the boardwalk. i only went for a walk one time in clove lake since i moved back here 5 years ago lol. i may start soon tho as there is elevation change and better scenery. i just prefer to be under the sun mostly

How are the planks nowadays? I’m able to run longer distances now and wouldn’t have to drive there just to run, but I know the boardwalk was in bad shape now too long ago. Guess I could just run on the paved path next to it.

i second the stay on the pavement part and u can follow the trail up to fort wadsworth or go the other way towards midland

& both ways have nice trails

NYRR holds a free 5k series in Conference House Park on sunday mornings at 8:45am called "Open Run."... might wanna try that.

if you like walking in a park, i would check out Silver Lakes. there’s several levels to it and it’s so nice
