Gyms + fitness studios are cleared to reopen once NC enters Gov. Cooper’s third phase of reopening, but Phase 2 has been extended until July 17. We asked y’all where we could go for outdoor workouts, and as usual, y’all had the scoop. To kick off the seventh month of this year (how is that even possible?), we’re looking at where you can go to safely get your outdoor sweat on, because moving your body is vital to your physical + mental health. Protip: This list is based on your feedback, so make sure to check the comments (or add your own) for even more additions.
