This summer, we had a crazy idea. Take the thing that we loved so much - #Sweatworking - and make a week of it. After putting that into action and spending a week doing all the fitness, we saw that this was something that you could get behind.

From January 9-14, at the time of year when your New Year’s resolutions could be pulling at your heart or hamstrings, we’re doing it again. We’re partnering with studios we consider to be some of the best in the city to offer a taste of their classes for just $15 a pop to incentivize you to get in the doors of your new favorite fitness studios. Think of this as your restaurant week for fitness.

In the middle of the day, we'll bring in some people from the Chicago Fitness community to talk about some of the things they know, some of the things that drive them and we'll walk away from each session a little more empowered. Lunches will be just $5 and every cent will go to the Greater Chicago Food Depository. 

We'll feature lunch from Snap Kitchen and we'll be in space provided by Breather.

January 12, our fourth lunch will be with Kelly Magnus (triathlete, writer at aSweatLife.com, busy professional at Fleishman Hillard) and Eric Owens (Co-Founder of Delos Therapy and Ping Pong Hall of Fame inductee). You'll walk away from this lunch with real advice that you can use to make space in your body and your day for moments of health.
