All In One Fitness Gym in Albany will be celebrating its third year anniversary with a party and health fair and Albany Strollers & Rollers will be there!

This is a free event for the community and will include booths provided by several local health related businesses including  chiropractor, physical therapist, acupuncturist, solar company…and, of course, AS&R.
Come on down to the gym for a day filled with games, food, live dj, membership specials, raffles, prizes, and most importantly fun and great information on how you can lead a healthier lifestyle!

Bring your friends and family! Please RSVP and get more information by giving us a call at the gym at (510) 524-1001. Hope to see you there!

We have been invited to participate in order to talk to other AiOF members about cycling and walking around town. So please, if you have some time to help at our booth for a little while, sharing your ideas while enjoying the food and music, please email Amy Smolens at calamari@alumni.duke.edu – thanks!

Spend the afternoon at a Pop-up Park on Solano Avenue!
Tables & umbrellas will be set in two parking stalls adjacent to Gordo’s and Domino’s for a day of community, music and relaxation. Grab a burrito, tacos, pizza, ice cream or anything from local businesses as we transform two boring parking spaces into an inviting  parklet.

Come on down and learn how to ride a bike more safely – and have more fun!

Want to ride more but don’t feel confident enough?

Here’s a FREE bicycle skills class, courtesy of Bike East Bay (with support from the UC Berkeley Police Department.)

Learn basic rules of the road, how to share the road with cars on busy streets, how to equip your bicycle, lock your bike, fit your helmet, and avoid crashes by riding predictably, visibly, and communicating with other road users by your actions and signals. Every workshop has the same content so you only need to attend once. For adults and teens, no bike needed.

Please note: All of Bike East Bay’s UC Berkeley classes are open to the public, but are also part of the BEST (Bicycle Education & Safety Training) program allowing cyclists ticketed at UC to have their fines reduced. For these Thursday classes, they encourage people to be ticketed cyclists (don’t run a stop sign so you can attend :) ), but Bike East Bay confirms that you still can register.

Class is FREE but please register here.
