Since the pandemic started, we’ve been hungry to do more for the communities around us. We’ve seen firsthand the power that acting locally can have, and we’re working hard to support the organizations we know that have put the time, effort, and knowledge into taking care of their neighbors.

That’s why we’re working with NOW® to support Healthy Hood. a community based, non-profit organization based in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago. We’re coming together for a full day of events: first #TrainersConnect in the afternoon, then #Sweatworking in the evening. And even better, we’re continuing the pay-what-you-can model we debuted at #SweatworkingWeek to make this day accessible for everyone.

About this partnership with NOW

This event has been created in collaboration with NOW, a longtime partner and local natural products manufacturer. We launched a new kind of partnership that allows us to shine light and resources on organizations we believe in, like Healthy Hood. Through this partnership, we were able to donate to Healthy Hood and continue to fund aSweatLife operations.

Healthy Hood‘s mission is to provide affordable programming and resources that elevate the mind, body and conscience, as means to combat the current 20-30 year life expectancy gap between undeserved communities and high-income communities in the Chicagoland area and around the country.

Here’s what’s happening at #TrainersConnect!

Quick refresher, #TrainersConnect is our monthly event series for those in the fitness and wellness industry!
