If you are embarking on a new wellness journey or want to
increase your activity level, it can be hard to figure out which workout is best for you. For many health aficionados, group
classes like yoga or CrossFit are popular options, but here in
South Florida, you don’t need to be confined to an indoor space
to sweat it out. In fact, with the sun shining all year round, running may just be the best exercise option for Floridians.
Running is a great workout as it not only keeps you healthy, it
also builds stamina, confidence, and strength. But if the idea of
setting off to run alone each morning doesn’t inspire you, consid-
er a running club. Alex Celis created Celis Run Club after a few of his friends expressed how they enjoyed running but hated doing
it alone. The Club was meant to give them a space to sweat it out, get more active, and have fun. But more than just exercise, the
U B
Run Club also brings people together.
“For me, a run club is an extension of a team as I see a lot of the same people every week and we build a bond,” Alex said. “We
run together, we sweat together, and we are pushing each other every week to do better.” Plus, when joining a run club, you are
often pushed to go further and longer than you would when you run alone. Your fellow runners act as motivators and coaches,
pushing you to become a better runner and a better version of yourself.
