Repke Fitness is located in Millersville, Maryland, nestled in the heart of Anne Arundel County. Residents of this area are lucky to have a lot of outdoor adventures within a drivable distance.

Biking

Light Street Cycles offers a fun way to tour the city in your own backyard. Pedal through Baltimore on one of many tours offered by this bike rental tour company. The Gwynn’s Falls Trail Bike Tour is a guided 16 mile ride that mixes urban and bucolic scenery. The Waterfront Tour takes cyclists from Fort McHenry to Little Italy with a waterfront view of a few neighborhoods in between. The Jones Falls Trail Tour is slightly more challenging than the first two tours, with hills that are rewarded with gorgeous views of the city.

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Stand Up Paddle Annapolis is located on the Severn River in Crownsville. Newbies can take a lesson spending part of the time on land and part of the time getting acclimated to the water. Experienced paddle boarders can jump right in. Boards, paddles, and life jackets are provided. Check out some paddleboarders in action on their website here.

Harper’s Ferry

Just an hour drive from Millersville lies Harper’s Ferry National Historical Park. Take a hike on the best suited path for your fitness level, or enjoy the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers with fishing, canoeing, kayaking, tubing, or swimming.

Repke Fitness is located in the center of Maryland where oceans or mountains are just a short drive away. Adding active fun to your free time is a great way to help maintain the shape that you work so hard for through personal training sessions in the studio.
