If your gym routine is typically headphones on, head down, Y Happy Hour is a great way to meet other fitness enthusiasts in Charlotte.
Catch up quick: The high-energy monthly mixer draws hundreds of people across the city's health and wellness scene for a free social.
It was started by Y members (hence the name) but has no affiliation with the organization and is open to anyone, whether you're into lifting, running, Pilates or just want to connect with others in the fitness space.
💭 My thought bubble: Every mixer I've attended has packed out the house, so expect a crowd and to make new friends. The vibe is noticeably social — not just full of people sticking to their own groups.
The free mixers typically happen once a month, in addition to occasional ticketed events.
What's next: Y Happy Hour's May meetup is today at Platform Sports from 7-11pm.
