Harpoon FitFest Is Back — Boston's Sweatiest Happy Hour
Harpoon FitFest returns to the Seaport on Friday, May 15 with group workouts, live DJs, cold beers, and some of the city's best coaches — all in one electric Friday night.
Friday nights in Boston just got a whole lot better. The second annual Harpoon FitFest, powered by Big Night Fitness and RITUAL Boston, is returning to Harpoon Brewery in the Seaport on Friday, May 15 — and it's shaping up to be bigger, louder, and sweatier than ever.
Think of it as Boston's sweatiest happy hour. Group workouts, live DJs, cold beers, and an electric Friday night crowd — all in Harpoon's iconic Beer Garden as the sun sets over the Seaport. This is the kind of event that makes you actually look forward to the end of the work week.
What Is Harpoon FitFest?
FitFest is an outdoor fitness festival that brings Boston's fitness community together to move, sweat, and celebrate — all in one of the city's best outdoor venues. Powered by Big Night Fitness and RITUAL Boston, the event features group workouts led by some of the city's top coaches, a live DJ keeping the energy high, and Harpoon beers waiting for you on the other side.
It's part workout, part social, part party — and it's one of the most fun fitness events Boston has to offer.
The Lineup
This year's schedule is stacked with some of Boston's best coaches and a little something for every kind of mover.
5:30–6:15pm | Kettlebell & Keg Circuit
Kick off the night with Conor Murphy and his team for a 45-minute kettlebell specialty class designed for all fitness levels. Expect a guided warm-up, skill development, and an energizing HIIT circuit. Whether you've never touched a kettlebell or you're a seasoned pro, you'll walk away moving better and feeling stronger.
6:15–7:00pm | Pilates Fusion
Move to the music with Studio78's Hailey Hoffman and Emma Ellis in a 45-minute low-impact, high-intensity class that blends Pilates, barre, and strength training into one seamless flow.
6:15–7:00pm | RITUAL Boston x Harpoon Run Club
More of a run crew person? Join RITUAL Boston and Harpoon for a 3.5-mile community group run through the Seaport. Perfect for anyone who missed the Harpoon 5-Miler.
7:00–7:45pm | Battista Bootcamp
Close out the workout portion of the night with Darren Battista's signature 45-minute full-body strength and conditioning class — all bodyweight, all levels, and a whole lot of fun.
After Party
The fun doesn't stop when the workout does. FitFest's after party keeps the energy going well into the night — cold Harpoon beers in hand, good music, and the kind of crowd that makes you want to stay all night.
