Ok so our weather still isn’t too summery but the events in Chicago are in full swing! We wanted to share all the summer goodness with ya’ll instead of keeping it for ourselves. Here’s just a few fun, free events to keep you fit and entertained this summer.
Bikini Blast Time
Looking to get your muscles tight for your new polka dot bikini (or speedo)? Join the Old Town Purre Barre team for a grand opening party on Thursday, June 19th from 6-8 p.m. Pure Barre gives clients a chance to sculpt and lengthen their muscles by alternating tiny shake inducing muscle movements with stretching sequences. Believe us, you will tighten your problem areas and wonder why such little movements can be so sweat provoking. The grand opening party will feature drinks, light snacks, raffles as well as retail and class specials so this would be a perfect opportunity to snag a deal and step to the barre. See the Purre Barre website for class information and more details.
