Description

Join us on Monday, 7/26, at 6pm for an all-levels cardio tennis class with USTA! About this workout: On Monday July 26 join us for a workout with USTA at the Maggie Daley Tennis Courts where you'll take on a Cardio Tennis class open to all levels. Michele Krause, founder of Cardio Tennis, will lead you in this high energy fitness activity that combines the best features of the sport of tennis with cardiovascular exercise, delivering the ultimate, full body, aerobic workout. Teams of 3-4 players will play Cardio Triples using a format of 3 on 3, with one player at the net and two at the baseline for each team. It's fast-moving as players rotate positions after every point. Don't have a racquet? Not a problem! USTA will have some available for you to borrow. Tickets for all #SweatworkingWeek events are pay-what-you-can: This means that you can choose a price that works for you so that #SweatworkingWeek can be accessible to everyone. If you're wondering which ticket tier helps us make sure we can compensate our team and instructors, $15 is the sweet spot, but if you choose a different tier, you'll get the same love and experience. About #SweatworkingWeek 2021 - The Summer of friendship: #SweatworkingWeek is a week that we bill as being “Like restaurant week, but for fitness.” And that’s true - you get a lot of chances to try and sample workouts that you might not ever have a chance to get your sweaty little mitts on otherwise. But the thing we’re most obsessed with is that you’re able to make new friends in a lot of different spaces quickly. We’ve hosted #SweatworkingWeek and all of its iterations since June of 2016. We knew it was something we wanted to continue when the aftermath of the week was a clear and present feeling of community. Humans were saying goodbye with sweaty hugs even though they were strangers just days before. Cut to 2020. We were committed to finding a way to deliver something resembling #SweatworkingWeek. We partnered with Maggie Daley Park for what felt like our only chance at normalcy during the warmer months - it kind of felt like being in the eye of a hurricane. The winds weren’t bad, but we had no idea what was coming next. That one week window into the COVID-19-era stress of creating outdoor, group workouts gave us so much empathy for the owners and managers of studios and gyms. We brought people together as much as we could - but last summer, that looked like waving with your masks on from across a field. This summer, we’re embracing more of a celebratory tone. We’re theming the week around a simple idea: The summer of friendship. You’ll see workouts that bring together fitness instructors from across Chicago for workouts that will make you feel alive - not only because your blood is pumping, but also because you’re able to see the bright shiny faces of the people whose heart rates are up too. And we’re creating moments with partners that will help you feel the spirit of friendship too! Here are the partners you can expect to see: Michelob ULTRA, one of aSweatLife's BFF's. N!CK’S ice cream (yes, full pints), bars and some other stuff we can’t tell you about. Honey Mama’s organic truffle bars will blow your mind. Mad Tasty will provide CBD sparkling waters and other fun things. Another aSweatLife BFF, Delos Therapy, will be doing mini-Delos Therapy sessions. You'll get full meals from a new friend, Greenleaf and protein-packed snacks from Chomps. Hydrant will provide electrolytes and Open Water will provide the eco-friendly, carbon-neutral H2O. You'll have a chance to win gear from Athleta, Pulse Athletic Apparel, YETI and plants from The Sill. Go Puff will be providing tons of goodies to keep you feeling good. And Boss Gloss will keep you looking good with our new go-to hair treatments. When: 6pm, Monday, July 26 Where: Maggie Daley Park Tennis Courts Why: Because this is the summer of friendship and we want to spend it with you! What to bring: Tennis racquet if you have one aSweatLife.com helps you live your best life with fitness as the catalyst. We host #Sweatworking to showcase where we love to work out across Chicago.
