Naperville Healthy Activities Meetup Group

Naperville, IL

I used to run a health activity group many years ago! I loved getting people together to do healthy activities when they normally wouldn’t do it by themselves! The older I get, I find it’s hard to find like minded people to get together to find healthy exercises and sports. I would love to add activities that allow people to choose what they would like to do and be able to take the step to do it. I would even like to see others get a chance to lead activities they would like to do as well! I look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones as well!

Gen X Gymnastics Fans

Glen Ellyn, IL

Are you an elite and/or NCAA gymnastics fan without many friends who share your niche interest? Our goal is to change that, so at minimum you can enjoy watching gymnastics with like-minded fans and at maximum, make connections with friendly people who are interested in going to live meets, arranging a watch party at a public venue, or hosting a live watch or re-watch party at home. Bonus: complaining about NBC's coverage in real life with people who understand, instead of having to save your ire for the "gymternet." This group is primarily aimed at Gen X women's artistic gymnastics (WAG) fans in the Western Suburbs who still remember Barcelona's flaming arrow and controversial all-around final, but a wider Chicagoland multigenerational crowd is also welcome! Join us if you're new to watching the sport, too--the more the merrier.

Hiking Feet, Trail Feet

Saint Charles, IL

**About** This is a group created for people who love to hit the trails on weekends. If you are looking to enjoy the outdoors, practice your hobbies and socialize with like-minded group, you are most welcome to join us! We seriously want to enjoy those trails!! We are a fun group of all ages and abilities, and we just want to keep fit and have fun out there. **Activities** Depending on the season, we schedule short hikes, long hikes, easy hikes, and moderately challenging hikes. Hikes will be mostly around 5-10 miles in and around North, West, and South suburbs. We occasionally schedule day hikes located in Indiana, Iowa, and Wisconsin, including weekend camping, and road trips. We strive to accurately describe the hike and trail condition, but certain things are beyond our control, such as sudden weather changes, downed trees, ponding, mud, bugs, ticks, or any inconveniences real or imagined. These activities are free, and voluntary and it is expected that attendees will have checked the weather before leaving, be on time, come prepared, and be responsible for their own safety. **Attendance** The events organized are limited to a small group of people and sometimes, events have a waitlist. We therefore expect a bit of courtesy for people to sign up only if they can attend and to manage their RSVP at least two days before the scheduled event. **Weather** Weather is always a major factor to consider in organizing events. We do scheduled hikes in all Seasons but limit the mileage in the Summer to 5miles or less when temperature is too uncomfortable, or schedule it later in the afternoon when the sun is not too harsh. Hikes may also be canceled due to rain but not if it is only a drizzle. **On the trail** It has been our experience that some people walk faster than the rest of the group. That is not a problem, just please let the event host know you are going ahead and not stopping to check a tree, look at animals or take photos. Maybe we'll see you in the parking lot afterwards.
