PHOTOS: #GayMenUnite For Cross-Training and Boozy Post-Workout Brunch
On Saturday, local gay-owned gym Unite Fitness hosted its first-ever day of working out dedicated to gay men. #GayMenUnite was a free, hour-and-fifteen-minute cross-training workout that included 30 minutes of cardio intervals, 30 minutes of strength training, and 15 minutes of yoga stretch and relaxation. Unite Fitness owner Gavin McKay tells me the venture was a huge success, bringing together 40 local gay dudes for bonding, exercising and a boozy post-workout brunch at Penn 6, another gay-owned establishment just around the corner. Participants also donated more than $300 for the Movember Foundation, an initiative fittingly aimed at “changing the face of men’s health.”
So, with all the success, can we expect another #GayMenUnite in the near future? “Lots of guys asked us to do it again, even weekly or monthly so you can be sure there will be another,” says McKay. He even hinted that he may host a #LesbiansUnite, so keep your ears open for that one, too.
McKay shared some photos of the afternoon. Check them out below:
