Here are some fantastic opportunities to put down your laptop, turn off your work phone and venture out for a new exploration.
1. Vformer Pilates’ Reformerun
Vformer Pilates is hosting its weekly Reformerun Sunday ritual this weekend, a delightful combination of Pilates, track running and brunch. These events are designed to combat the “Sunday scaries”, or the feeling of dread and panic that sets in as Monday looms.
The event kicks off with a 50-minute session of reformer Pilates (single-class tickets are HK$300/US$38) before transitioning to a high-energy 5km (3.1-mile) run on the Happy Valley Racecourse track. After the workout, participants will head to Fineprint for a post-workout brunch and conversation.
