Activity Groups For Men

F3 Watkin’ Warriors AO - Free Men’s Workout Group

Join us for a free, beginner-friendly, peer-led outdoor workout for men 18+ in Montgomery Village. This group was started to make no-cost fitness and genuine social connection easier for local men from different backgrounds. About six men now participate regularly, and we’re ready to welcome more. What makes F3 different: • Always free and open to men 18+ of every fitness level. • Peer-led and held outdoors, rain or shine. • We finish with a brief Circle of Trust—a chance to encourage one another and build up men in the community. Expect 45 minutes combining running, strength training, calisthenics, and HIIT-style bodyweight exercise, using available park equipment when appropriate. Modify as needed. Bring water; gloves are optional. F3 Nation: https://f3nation.com F3 The Capital: https://f3thecapital.com/ Message me at 401-330-6957 for details!

The Fall 2026 season of the Men's Mindfulness Group is re-starting on September 15 and every Tuesday evening 7:00-8:30. mese are small group meetings for men of all ages. The meetings include brief meditation and open discussion just for us guys. Contact us today to join (and for the location). or those of you returning to the group, we ask that you bring one element of the summer reading, A Fierce Heart, to share with us. Also at this first meeting, let us know what you would like to discuss this season. What has been going on in your life that is significant? For new people, we invite you to drop by and check us out. Our purpose is to give men a non-judgmental space to talk about what's going on. We also hope to open the door to a community of local friendships by and for men in a world that often makes this difficult. https://www.shinealightmensproject.net/newsletter Please note, this is not a religious or politically affiliated group.

Energizing Walk for Busy People!

Join our weekly walking meetup to have fun, maintain a healthy lifestyle, meet new people, and enjoy nature! We meet Saturdays at 10am, by the bike racks and benches 150 feet in front of BUBBLES Hair Salon in Reston, leaving no later than 10:05. Every week we'll walk the Green Trail to Lake Anne Plaza (\~1 mile), pause there for 5-10 minutes (water, bio, and from April-Nov a Farmer's Market), then circle the lake (2 miles) before returning to our starting point. It's roughly 3.5 miles and takes about an hour and a half. Afterwards, some members will often head to a local restaurant to refuel and relax before tackling the rest of the day. This event is open to all ages and fitness levels, and both friends and dogs are always welcome! We recommend dressing for the weather (umbrella, water bottle, snow shoes, hat, etc.) since we'll always walk, rain or shine. By signing up, you accept and assume all risks and responsibilities with this activity, and nobody will be held liable.

Park Club - Fountainhead Regional Park

Come to this month's Park Club for an afternoon in nature with fellow Environmental enthusiasts and activists, and just soak in that brief window at the end of Summer when it's not quite Autumn. We'll look into another of Northern Virginia's magnificent parks and take a little hike on one the trails. Most likely head down by the water at least for a bit. No limit on attendants, just please let us know if you're coming so we'll know to expect you. This month we'll be on the banks of the Occoquan once again, but on the Northern Side this time. A big draw for boaters and bikers along the Occoquan, with a lengthy biking trail which goes all the way to Bull Run, and Boat Rentals available for the aquatically inclined. We won't be doing those activities, but I encourage folks to enjoy these parks on their own time as well and especially if those activities sound like something they would enjoy.

Coffee and Chat - Weird Brothers Coffee

Join us for our bi-weekly coffee meetup—a perfect opportunity to connect with fellow community members, make new friends, and enjoy casual conversation. Whether you’re new to the area, looking to expand your social circle, or just want to enjoy a relaxing morning, we’d love to see you there! We will be meeting at Weird Brothers Coffee in the Worldgate Centre. After we grab our coffee and chat, those who are interested are welcome to join us for an optional lunch at one of the nearby restaurants in the shopping center. We look forward to catching up with you!

Nature Walk - Lake Fairfax Park

Come join us for a nice, peaceful morning walk through the beautiful Lake Fairfax Park to enjoy the early fall weather experience before it gets too cold. There are multiple trails to choose from, ranging from easy to moderate. Bring comfortable shoes and a water bottle. Meet us over by the soccer field. Parking is free.

Lake Anne Brew House Saturday BEER RUN

Run starts promptly at 9:45 am and follows a 1.5 mile loop around the lake. Do however many loops you like! Run at your own pace. After the run, we'll meet at the Brew House for a beer or coffee and BREAKFAST pretzels! Those cannot be anything but delicious. See you there.

Meetup on Orient Express. Autumn in Paris Venice Prague Vienna Budapest Istanbul

The Orient Express. . . you heard about it many times. The romance, the mystery, the adventure! Of course - the opulence too! ***While the original Orient Express train is now part of history, our journey revives its spirit—crossing Europe from Paris to Istanbul, echoing the legendary route that once defined luxury rail travel.*** This experience brings back the magic of the rails—without the inflated cost of old-world extravagance. Instead, we focus on service, comfort, and contemporary refinement, blending iconic train travel with thoughtfully curated experiences. We retrace the route of the original Orient Express using a mix of **modern night trains, high-speed day trains, and select short flights**, creating a seamless and unforgettable journey. Our route takes us to: Paris → Venice → Vienna → Prague → Budapest → Istanbul Included: * Train transportation between 4 cities. * 2 nights on an actual night train with sleeping compartment * Air transportation Paris / Venice and Budapest / Istanbul * 11 nights in First Class hotels with best central locations * Daily breakfast + select lunches and dinners * All transfers (hotels, train stations, airports) * Guided tours in every city * Entrances to many museums. * And more thoughtful touches throughout the journey We travel as a group, and also have the flexibility of hop-on, hop-off tours and museum passes with "skip the line" so you can enjoy complete independence. The trip is designed for curious, like-minded travelers who value both freedom and shared experiences. It is all included in the price! You are free to do your own thing, cater to your special interests, visit other sights and locations in the cities, while still being guided and helped with all the arrangements. A balance of independence when you want it and being included in all group activities when you prefer it. The idea is: come alone, meet new like-minded people and make lifelong memories . . . without being stuck with the "one size fits all" tour formula. Here is a basic thumbnail: · **Paris – 3 nights** Evening flight to Venice · **Venice – 1 night** Night train to Vienna · **Vienna – 1 night** Evening train to Prague · **Prague – 2 nights** Night train to Budapest · **Budapest – 1 night** Evening flight to Istanbul · **Istanbul – 3 nights**. Sleeper Cabins on the trains and First Class centrally located hotels in each city. ***What was The Orient Express?*** *It was long-distance passenger train service that began in 1883 with the original endpoints being Paris to Istanbul. The original name became synonymous with intrigue and was a showcase of luxury with comfort at a time when traveling was still rough and dangerous.* *In Istanbul the Pera Palace Hotel, built in 1892, was the accommodation at the terminus. And we are staying in it!* ***The original Orient Express ceased operation in 1977 and we are not using the original old train. It no longer exists.*** EVERY aspect of this trip is epic. * Visit picturesque and storied cities. * Enjoy trains and experience the enchantment of the rails. * In the end you will have visited 6 countries: France, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary and Turkey! **The tour starts in Paris on Sep 20 and ends in Istanbul on Oct 03.** ***$5490 total cost per person, double occupancy.*** ***$7090 total cost for solo occupancy.*** PRICE DOES NOT INCLUDE AIRFARE.
