As we evolve our signature event, #Sweatworking, we created #SweatToInspire, which merges a workout with the power that storytelling has to move a community to take action. We’ll start the evening with stories from three speakers and we’ll finish it with two workouts, similar to the #SweatToInspire workout you experienced with us on Equal Pay Day in April.

Meet your inspiration:

Our three speakers all have a unique perspective on self-love and are incredibly accomplished women.

Dawn Jackson Blatner

As the Registered Dietitian for the Chicago Cubs and winner of the hit ABC reality show “My Diet is Better Than Yours” told us that she lives with joy as her compass and practices self-love every day. She’ll talk about loving who she truly is and the benefits of showing that to the world.

Robin French

You’ll hear from the owner and founder of Bare Feet Power Yoga, a community-driven yoga studio in the West Loop. When she’s not busy running the place, she’s also teaching classes. While a sweaty power yoga flow is definitely her jam, she also believes yoga is about so much more than the poses we practice. Robin inspires her students to live their best lives off the mat and welcomes everyone that walks into her studio with open arms, an open heart and an open mind.

Bobby Gouse

Bobby comes to Chicago by way of NYC where he trained young Broadway dancers and was a part of the dance fitness phenomenon ((305)) Fitness. He’ll be leading his new style of dance fitness MVFitness.

Remember the good old days when MTV, TRL and VH1 played all our favorite Music Videos?MVFitness offers you the chance to learn those iconic dances while getting the best workout of your life! In this 30-minute version of the normally 60-minute class, you’ll get a jam-packed dance cardio workout while dancing and sweating your face off. The class will begin with a 10-minute warm-up and 5-minute “Full Body Chisel.” The last 15 minutes of class you will have the opportunity to learn a sexy, fun and easy Music Video combination!

MVFitness will have you leaving class feeling like a true Pop Star, without needing to be a dancer. Bobby said to “come as you are and be ready to flip that hair like Britney, Bitch!”
