Center City is a thriving, 24-hour downtown, full of history, three centuries of architecture, arts and cultural offerings, an amazing variety of unique retail shops and nationally acclaimed restaurants, and an incredibly strong fitness community.
Whether you’re a fitness newbie or a power lifting veteran, there’s a place for you in Center City’s fitness community. We’d be remiss not to start this blog post by simply talking about one of the best characteristics of Center City and Philadelphia as a whole – its walkability! We’re well known as a “city of neighborhoods” for good reason, so if you want to stay fit, ditch the car and switch your Google Maps to walking directions. And, if you need to get somewhere quickly, you can rent an Indego bike. Haven’t heard of it? Indego is Philadelphia’s bike-share program which offers daily, monthly, and yearly pass options to ride one of the hundreds of bright blue bicycles accessible 24/7, 365 days a year at 140 stations and growing.
Looking for a fitness hub to plant your roots? There are 33 gyms and fitness centers throughout Center City like City Fitness, Optimal Sport 1315, Solid Core, and Unite Fitness, Rittenhouse. Plus, more are opening soon!
