CHAARG + Sweaty Bands

This past weekend we had the amazing opportunity to host the University of Cincinnati and Xavier University CHAARG chapters at the Sweaty Bands Warehouse! It was a fun filled day that started with a sweat session and ended with a shopping spree! Wait, you haven’t heard of CHAARG before?! As described on their website:

"CHAARG aims to ignite a passion in college-aged girls for health + fitness. Too many college girls rely solely on an elliptical. CHAARG liberates girls from the elliptical + shows them that fitness can [+ SHOULD] be fun! Since every girl has a different preference of what fun is, we create opportunities for our CHAARG girls to “find their fit.” We do this by partnering with local studios once a week to lead a workout, whether it be CrossFit, Pure Barre, or salsa dancing — and everything in between."

CHAARG stands for Changing Health, Attitudes, and Actions to Recreate Girls. We are over the moon excited that there is an organization with such passion and drive to keep college-aged girls passionate about health and fitness. Every Sweaty Bands employee wishes that CHAARG was around when they were in college! They’ve even been featured in USA Today College. (YOU GO GIRLS!) CHAARG has a presence on 23 different college campuses and if CHAARG is not on your campus (yet), there is a virtual chapter that you can join! We highly recommend looking into it if you are interested! For our Sunday Funday with CHAARG we had our very own, Kaley Zimmerman, teach her Dance Fusion class!! It is the same class that she teaches our Sweaty Bands staff on some Workout Wednesdays! The energy was AMAZING! These girls are seriously no joke, being a college student, and getting their work out on at 10 AM on a Sunday. Seriously talk about inspirational. We are so grateful we were able to partner with our two local chapters in Cincinnati. We are so excited about this organization and all they’re doing to inspire fitness and friendship in collegiate girls! Visit their website to learn more about them! Thanks for an amazing Sunday Funday @UC_CHAARG and @XU_CHAARG and happy happy birthday to @CHAARG!
