If you love working out, staying fit, and eating healthy, you’ll love these 5 Greater Philadelphia towns. We chose them based on the prevalence of gyms and fitness studios, healthy food options, and nearby parks and recreational activities.
1. Green Lane and Perkiomen Township in Northern Montgomery County are two of our favorite areas to enjoy the great outdoors. It’s nestled along the Perkiomen Creek and its namesake Green Lane Park, and offers plenty of outdoor activities including biking, fishing, and hiking. We love the nearby trails for runners and walkers that feature some of the most beautiful views in the region. For healthy food options, be sure to check out Faraday’s natural Foods and Supplements in nearby Pennsburg.

Located in the heart of Philadelphia’s prestigious Main Line, you’ll find the popular ballet-inspired fitness studio Pure Barre, as well as Verge Yoga Center, Pilates Garden Studio and plenty of CrossFit gyms — just to name a few! For healthy eating, we love picking up a fresh juice or smoothie from The Juice Philly at Verge or Barre Focus Fitness, and Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods are conveniently located nearby.
