If you’re a regular BostInno reader or somehow stumbled upon our Happy Hour Athlete Series, you’ve heard of our upcoming Happy Hour Athlete event. A Tuesday drinking at Game On!, checking out the coolest ways to stay fit, and scoring some free swag doesn’t sound half bad. Especially when all-night-access to the Fenway Park batting cages is part of the deal. But is this event really for you? Sure you have some fall fitness resolutions, but so far the extent of your aerobic activity has been shuffling between meetings during your grueling 9-5 (let’s be real, 8-6). If this is an event for health and fitness nuts to discuss their marathon training routines and kale-only diets, you’d rather remain home and settle in for “America’s Got Talent.”
Trust us, it’s not.
Don’t let the word “athlete” scare you away. This is event is not reserved for the athletically inclined. All breeds of Bostonians will gather at Game On! for a great night out in the Hub. Plenty of folks–myself included–will be there just to browse, booze, and maybe play a round of baggo, Here is a taste of who you’ll meet at Happy Hour Athlete September 24th!
9 People You’ll Meet at Happy Hour Athlete
1. The Diehard Sox Fan. After a series win over the Tigers and last night’s triumph against the Yankees, members of Red Sox nation have never been happier. If the Sox manage to hold their AL East Division lead, Bostonians will be celebrating at Happy Hour Athlete September 24th by taking a swing in the Fenway batting cages. For one night, you’ll feel like you are right in the middle of the action. Step up to the plate and imagine hitting it out of the park Big Papi-style. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the “Cathedral of Boston” and revel in your love of Red Sox baseball.
2. The Couch Potato. After years of avoiding the gym, parked in their living room recliner binging on junk food and Netflix, this person is ready to clean the cobwebs off their sneakers. Happy Hour Athlete is the perfect opportunity to get out of your fitness slump.

3. The Boston Newbie. Meeting people in a new city is never easy. Sure, there’s the bar scene, but the chances of making a legitimate friend are essentially zip. Joining casual sports teams is one way to connect with cool people in the Hub. There are tons of leagues that are more about team spirit and post-game beers than the actual competition. Plenty of Boston transplants will gather at Game On! to find a new fitness routine and sign up for a local softball or volleyball league with Easter Seals.
4. The College Jock. With so many colleges in the area, Boston has it’s fair share of once-upon-a-time athletes. It has even more college grads who think they are varsity athletes, but the closest they ever came to a playing field was the tailgate.
