This Week in Health and Fitness: JBM Second Anniversary and Summer Escape in Winter Pool Party
This Week in Health and Fitness brings you the latest fitness and health goings on from around town so you can live your #bestlife.
First and foremost, since it's happening today (Dec 2) only, Juice By Melissa are celebrating their second anniversary with a party at their Dongzhimen location. Turn up from 7pm onwards and they'll very kindly give you your first round on them. We're sure the cold-pressed cocktails will be flowing until late into the evening.
Demonstrating just why they have become one of Beijing's best-loved lifestyle brands over the past couple of years, Juice By Melissa are also throwing a Summer Escape in Winter pool party at newly-opened Topwin Center gym and spa Green Essence on Saturday, December 10. Splash around in the heated indoor pool (which also has a pretty dope view of the Sanlitun skyline) and enjoy an open bar of JBM's signature cold-pressed cocktails. Tickets cost RMB 400, which includes pool entrance, free use of Green Essence's locker room facilities, flip flops, a towel to take home, an open bar, and a menu of healthy canapés. Sign up via the EventBank platform here soon, as spots are sure to sell out quickly.
Segueing wildly onto the next topic, if you're bored with all your regular exercise options, why not try out something new at the hoop dancing workshop taking place at B Active in Chaowai Soho this Sunday, December 4. The organizers are keen to point out that hoop dancing isn't just like playing around with a hula hoop like you did as a child – it's a full body workout that is especially good for those seeking a flatter tummy. Classes are aimed at beginners, so don't worry if you've never done it before/feel like an uncoordinated moron. The Sunday session costs RMB 200 per person and needs to be paid in advance. Contact the organizer on WeChat at ninisnowy for more information.
