Stride for Cure at Pure Fitness, Lululemon in SoHo and Weird Facials

Raising money for charity is just getting easier these days, and with the Pure Fitness “Stride for a Cure” campaign, you really don’t have an excuse not to get off your butt and raise money for the Hong Kong Cancer Fund. From November 10 to 18, members and non-members alike are welcome to visit a Pure Fitness location, hop on a treadmill or stationary bike, lift some weights or take a group fitness class, and raise money for charity by a) paying a $100 subscription fee; and b) raising a minimum of $500 in sponsorship. See? You don’t have to get up early to run a marathon, grow facial hair or bungee jump off the Macau Tower to be a philanthropist.

Big news for yoga apparel enthusiasts with money to burn: Lululemon has opened up a store on Staunton Street, just down the road from Jaspas. In addition to selling super stylish (and butt-flattering) yoga pants, tops, hoodies and all the rest of it, the store has a community events calendar, with free fitness events throughout the year. In November, there was a running club meet-up on the 3rd, and on the 24th, there’s a “Get Ready for Christmas” Pilates class, held in the showroom itself. To check for more upcoming events, visit tiny.cc/luluhk.53 Staunton St., Central, 2547-9231.
