January 13: Join Us for the #SweatWorkingWeek Fitness Festival

We’ve teased the #SweatworkingWeek Fitness Festival schedule and we’re ready to tell you what all of the fuss is about. This time at the close of the #SweatworkingWeek, instead of wrapping up with one final workout, we’re dedicating a full day to celebrating some of our favorite ways to move.

How are we doing that? A few big ways.

  1. Two fitness studios running constantly: At Morgan’s on Fulton, one of our favorite venues in the city, we’ll have one studio with equipment-based classes and another The Reebok Chicago Fitness studio with classes that will get you sweating with bodyweight on and off of mats – think dance, barre, boxing and yoga.
  2. Every class is a DJ class: We’ll have DJs spinning all day in both studios, so you can expect the jams to be pumped WAY up.
  3. Expect an all-day festival: On the main level where you’ll enter the #SweatworkingWeek Fitness Festival, you can expect an all-day affair. The SweatWorking App will be there giving out sweet prizes, Michelob Ultra will be pouring beer and Beermosas as the official Celebration Beverage of #SweatworkingWeek, we’ll have Delos Therapy in the house, snacks from Luna Bar, Fit Foodie, Bai beverages and so much more.

What’s on the schedule? All of this amazingness:

She’s now everyone’s favorite bi-coastal fitness celebrity, but even with her title of Women’s Health’s Next Top Fitness Star, Betina is still our hometown homegirl, coming home to close out #SweatworkingWeek.

David Carson has an incredible way of getting everyday athletes to feel like pros, teaching them that they can jump higher and run faster if they train smarter … they might not be able to increase their wingspan, though. David helps pro athletes and everyday athletes alike as a personal trainer, group trainer and consultant to pro basketball teams from the pros to the middle school level.
