4 Filipino Fitness Communities You Can Join in 2024

Achieving a holistic and fit lifestyle doesn’t have to be lonely. Here are four fitness communities that make exercise feel like a fun hang-out with friends

Fitness does not have to be a solitary journey. In fact, being a member of a group can add to your experience—hence the popularity of group exercise classes in gyms and the rising trend of community wellness at the local grassroots level. More than just a crowd that meets on schedule, a fitness community can provide the needed moral support and constructive feedback for you to meet your wellness goals. If you’re interested in joining one, check out this short list of active fitness communities you can join in the Philippines.

Adidas Runners Manila is a fitness community that comes together for running sessions and other holistic events all around Metro Manila. It’s a group that can give you the support you need to push your boundaries in sports. According to Adidas Runners Manila Captain Nikki Torres during our interview last year, it’s also a welcoming space for the LGBTQ+ community. “We’re made up of dedicated and passionate people who also believe in providing equal access to sports,” she said of the group.

Jump Laguna is a fitness community that bases their workouts around jumping ropes provided by the brand Jump Manila. Notably, the Laguna-based community offers classes and workshops available to all fitness levels. Growing outside of the brand, Jump Manila also frequently hosts “Car-Free Sunday Mornings at Ayala Avenue” events to promote health maintenance.

Sunday Hike Club

Interested in taking up hiking but don’t want to go at it alone? Consider joining the Sunday Hike Club, a community formed around a love for hiking and adventures. It’s a local group that has so far brought members to destinations like Mt. Ulap, the Nagpatong Rock Formation, and Mt. 387. Most recently, the hiking club took on Mt. Pulag in Benguet.
