Yelp Edmonton has created a yelp Fitness club (#YelpFitClubYEG) to get their members outside/try some new activities in the city. Normally all the cool stuff is reserved for the yelp Elite (people who are a power force in the community & review a lot) but this time it's open to all members!
Yesterday was Segway'ing through River Valley Adventure Company. If you haven't heard of this place before, it's located in the River Valley almost directly below the Shaw Conference Center (right across from the Edmonton Queen Riverboat). Normally the tours are around an hour and the guides will take you all over the valley, but we just had a little intro (around 15 minutes). We learned how to go forwards, back and turn on the segways, and feel what it's like to go SUPER FAST! And by that I mean 10kms an hour, hehe.
While we waited for our turn there were two groups ahead of mine, and all came in raving and saying good things about their experience. My group of six had a blast-giggling and laughing while riding these fun little Segways :)
Yelp is a great website to learn about new, awesome companies in and around the city, and where to go when you want to try something or somewhere new for whatever you're into. There's no charge to join! I've been a yelper since 2010 but have only just started reviewing this year, though been lucky enough to have friends invite me to various yelp elite events before. And man, I've realized what an awesome online community Edmonton has! Looking forward to meeting more yelpers at these next few events!
