Description
’s Workout in the Park has been a summer staple for 19 years, since
the magazine hosted its first series of outdoor fitness classes in
Central Park. Now in three cities, the all-day affair draws
hundreds of Chicago women to Grant Park’s Butler Field to test out
new fitness trends and take classes with celebrity trainers. This
year, CRUNCH Fitness pros are back with 17 classes such as Hippie
Yoga—a class devoted to opening up the hips—and POUND Rockout, a
Pilates-inspired class that uses Ripstix weighted drumsticks to
work your core as you pound to a fast paced beat. Get your butt
kicked by “The Biggest Loser” trainer Dolvett Quince. Once you’ve
torched a day’s worth of calories, relax with massages,
mini-facials and more; try on and purchase the latest fitness
fashion, sample the array of healthy snacks and get amazing swag
from the tents around the park. You’ll leave with a gift bag that
includes a subscription to and a Bar Method Class, so you can
continue the health fest all year long.
