Sweat here on Saturday for Sandy recovery. |
In Sandy's wake, we've heard about relief efforts from fundraising runs to where to volunteer, from the NBC telethon to companies donating proceeds to the cause. But for the most part, you couldn't really participate if you weren't in New York or doing some shopping. Not anymore. Chicago's four Equinox locations--Gold Coast, Highland Park, Lincoln Park and the Loop--are stepping up the plate this Saturday to host a "Share Your Strength" charity event. Co-hosted by the American Red Cross, the event will raise money for those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
The deal: You donate at least $100 (or ask your friends to donate a dollar for every minute you plan to sweat) to gain entry with all proceeds going to the American Red Cross.
The return: You can sweat your way through a series of inspiring fitness classes on Saturday. All four Chicago locations have at least two classes they're offering. Take your pick of yoga, cycling or MetCon3; they're guaranteed to get the heart pumping.
The alternative: Snag a specially designed Strength tee at The Shop at Equinox to show your support. Perfect if you can't make Saturday's sweat sessions.
The classes: Members can check out the full list of donation classes online at equinox.com. Or we have it below, listed by Equinox location, studio room, class name, time it starts, time it ends, and instructor (which unfortunately is a little cut-off).
