Firefli and POW! Gym Chicago “Sweat & Social” Fitness

Firefli, the health-tech app that rewards people for daily steps, cardio and quality sleep, is teaming up with POW! Gym Chicago to host Sweat & Social on Thursday, November 13, from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at POW! Gym Chicago and Chicago Parisi Speed School, 310 S. Racine Ave., 1st Floor.

The evening opens with a group strength and mobility class, followed by a social hour with food and drinks. The event is open to all fitness levels. Space is limited; Event info and tickets available here.

Sweat & Social is part of Firefli’s “Chicago Takeover,” the company’s push to connect Chicago’s active residents with local gyms, studios, juice bars, healthy eateries and grocers. Chicago is now home to more Firefli members than any other market.

“The best workouts are the ones you come back for, and community is what brings people back,” said Matthew Rial, Founder and CEO of Firefli. “Sweat & Social is a chance to move together, meet people who are building the same habits, and see how Firefli turns everyday healthy choices into real rewards.”
