Yes, baby, it sure is cold outside. But sailors know winter isn’t the time to take a break from the fitness routines that make us all lean, mean, trimming machines in the springtime. And speaking of the springtime, warm weather (really) is right around the corner. To help keep you on track with your gym membership, we’ve compiled a list of upcoming events appealing to all types of sailors. Did we miss something? Email us at [email protected] to get listed in the magazine. Until then, we’ll see you in spin class.
