This one-day outdoor event will remind you of the high-energy atmosphere present at Lollapalooza and Riot Fest. The iconic DJ Lee Michaels, the DJ for the Chicago Cubs and Blackhawks, and an ensemble of renowned studio instructors will be the headlining acts. You won’t want to miss out on this exciting lineup. Bounce from stage to stage, taking as many or as few classes as you like — all while being led by seasoned fitness pros.
The day will be filled with dynamic classes, including rumble boxing, dance, HITT intensive total body workouts, Flow 2.0, and strengthening and sculpting flows. Veteran fitness coaches from Barry’s, Orangetheory, SoulCycle, YogaSix, Pure Barre, and P.volve Chicago will lead classes and bring a new level of fun to fitness.
Participants will have the chance to attend real-life meet and greets with popular fitness influencers, Chicago-based travel and lifestyle influencers, and wellness gurus. Attending will be Instagram-famous Aubre Winters, a fitness trainer and social media creator, and Ally Case, a travel and lifestyle influencer, among others. Aubre Winters will also lead a special sweat session at 12:05 p.m.

One of the highlights of the event will be the Wellness Village, a space where you can replenish your mind and body throughout the day. Festival goers will receive special access to this location where they can peruse wellness and lifestyle products and recharge from the day’s activities with a like-minded community.
Offerings will include cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and IV hydration therapy from IVme. Attendees will receive a complimentary fresh lunch from Farmer’s Fridge from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and coffee will be available the entire event. Be sure to arrive early, as Lululemon and SoulCycle will be handing out complimentary gifts while supplies last.
The fitness festival will be a catalyst for wellness in the community, not only for event goers but also the underserved youth of Chicago. According to Faces of Fitness’s website, they have partnered with Urban Initiatives to “provide Chicago youth with opportunities for success,” starting with neighborhoods, families, and school communities. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to the Urban Initiatives cause, working to make the lives of Chicago youth better and brighter.
