November Project Providence’s 12 Days of FITMAS

What’s better than working out for one day? Working out for TWELVE days! It’s the Twelve Days of Fitmas – November Project Providence’s holiday fitness extravaganza. We’ve done month-long run streaks in the past and last year we indulged in a self care streak. This combines the best of it all with a twelve day challenge. Yes, we’ll still have our traditional twelve days workout and it will kick off this challenge! Mark your calendar for December 14 at the Providence Pedestrian Bridge, 6:01 AM. Here are all the deets: read more

WOW! Week of Wonder with PVD

Do you pop out of bed to your 5AM alarm, heart racing in need of #freefitness? Have you never heard of this wacky ole thing called November Project? Do you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain? Are you a human? Are you a witch? Are you a talking tree? If you answered yes (or no or maybe) to any of the above questions, listen here!

If there’s ever been a time to #justshowup, it’s now. This is your captain speaking and this is WOW.

Actor Owen Wilson says "WOW!"

What is WOW? Glad you asked, Owen Wilson.

Each fall, we test our limits with Hell Week (the best kind of Hell, obvi). 1 week, 5 days, 5 early morning workouts, eternal bragging rights.

WOW is WEEK OF WONDER aka the Gemini lil sister of Hell Week. But don’t let her peppy name fool you! We’ve got 5 days of #freefitness, sprinkled throughout Providence. 6AM every day (except Wednesday PR Day where we’ll double up at 5:27/6:27)

Bring yourself, the kiddos, the pups, a new friend, an old friend. We’re not gonna lie. We love you and we miss you. This shit is good, but it’s better when you’re here. If our love isn’t enough, then come for the WHEEL of wonder which we’ll spin every day to award some silly prizes! Anyone who crushes all 5 mornings will get goodies too 🙂

Evergreen stuff: for everyone, fam friendly, free.99, deck of cards workout option for all days

=&0=&Hills Pay The Bills

  • When & Where: 6AM – Prospect Park (60 Congdon St) to head over to crush some Jenckes Hills
  • Parking Tips: Right along either side of Congdon Street.  Free, residential area.  Try to be a littttttle quiet as we gather in the park/on that street because of residential noise ordinances in the early AM.
  • Why: because it’s Monday funday and you’ve got this! 25 minutes on the clock

    We’ve got a LOT going on, and we want you to be a part of all of the fun!

    Hello PVD!

    We’re looking at October with excitement, so we wanted to get you all the information you need in one place!  Scroll down for a calendar of events, but here are the details!

    First things first: We’re encouraging masks before and after our workouts – so as you arrive, during the bounce, during the photo, and leaving.  Please help our community continue to stay safe and mitigate the spread of germs, especially as we head into the cooler weather.

    PR Day is here!  PR day is BY FAR your favorite workout, according to the survey we sent out this summer.  To accommodate as many people as possible, we’re offering 5:27 AM and 6:27 AM start times for this workout.  See ya at the State House!

    -We’ve got a field trip coming up!  We’ll head up to Keene, NH to join Swanzey Keene Fit Project for their Saturday workout on October 2.  They start at 7:59 and it takes about two hours from PVD.  Please meet in the Whole Foods parking lot (on North Main) so the carpool/caravan can leave as close to 5:30 AM as possible.  Bring a shirt!  Facebook event here if that’s your jam.

    -Up next, the Boston Marathon!  For those volunteering on Marathon Monday, October 11, we can carpool up from the Whole Foods parking lot (on North Main Street in Providence) leaving promptly for 5:00 AM.  Official volunteer details went out via the Boston Athletic Association and a Facebook event can be found here.

    –Hell Week is coming!  Join us and bring all of your friends.  FIVE days of FABULOUS workouts.  Here’s a rundown.  Bring a shirt as you’ll receive a piece of a super cool tag each day.  If you plan on attending all five days, we can tag your shirt, in total, on the Friday.

    Monday = Sunrise 6K.  5:27 AM.  We’ll meet near the fountain in Lippitt Park then head over to the start location on the Boulevard together.

    Tuesday = Guest leader!  Stay tuned on our social pages for more details but this workout will be somewhere in Providence at 5:27 AM.

    Wednesday = RI State House Shenanigans. 5:27 AND/OR 6:27 AM.  Join us for our usual dose of free fitness at our favorite spot.

    Thursday = Yoga.  5:27 AM.  Temple to Music, Roger Williams Park.  Please bring a yoga mat and/or towel for this one.

    Friday = Providence Pedestrian Bridge.  5:27 AM.  You’re not going to want to miss this one, in one of our newest favorite spots in the city.  You can use Plant City in your GPS and there is street parking all along South Water Street (free at our early o’clock workout time).

    We’ll also have a social on the Friday evening, at 6:00 PM.  Can you tell we love PVD?  Details on the social forthcoming.

    And here’s a handy calendar to keep all the dates organized.  If any questions, please reach out to us on Facebook or Instagram!
