Not only does the FITT 60126 Family work hard together, but we play hard together too. Check out the events below for a sampling of the activities we have hosted over the years. Visit our Facebook and Instagram pages to see our most recent events.

Summer Challenge: FITT’s 10-week workout/fitness challenge pitting one team of FITT members against another. Each week consisting of a weeklong fitness challenge involving rowing, biking, running/walking, step-ups, glute bridges, pull-ups, dead hangs, crunches, planks, and everyone’s favorite, burpees. While the challenge was very competitive, when it was over, the teams got together to celebrate their collective accomplishments!

Feed My Starving Children: For the last two years, more than 20 FITT members have spent several hours preparing and packaging food for assisting the Feed My Starving Children organization.

Mother’s Day: A workout tailored specifically for FITT moms and their kids. And later, some “alone time” for just the moms.

Support Our Troops: Class participants wear some form of camo apparel, and some even complete a “Murph” workout. The Murph is named after Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy who died in the 2005 Afgan war. The workout consists of a one mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, and 300 air squats, all while wearing a weighted vest (14 lbs. for women / 20 lbs. for men).

Bring your Dog to FITT Weekends: Just like it sounds, bring your dog to FITT on the weekends so you can work out with them, or let them play with other dogs and members.

Going Away Party: A party at Tannins in downtown Elmhurst to celebrate the departure of a long-time member who was moving to another state. While she was leaving the FITT studio, she was not leaving the FITT family. Because once you’re a member of the FITT family, you’re always a member. There is no escaping it!

Burn Before the Bird: FITT’s annual Thanksgiving morning workout and social gathering. It always begins with a challenging team workout, like row a marathon (42,195 meters), and ends with some food, drinks and friendship. An awesome way to kick off the holiday season!

Christmas Workouts: FITT’s annual Christmas-themed workouts based on the song “the 12 Days of Christmas”, but substituting, burpees, pushups, thrusters, etc. for the drummers drumming, maids-a-milking, lords-a-leaping, etc. No two Christmas themed workouts are ever the same!

Christmas Party: FITT’s Annual Christmas party, hosted at the studio and enjoyed by all. Just like the Christmas themed workouts, no two Christmas parties are ever the same!

Member Milestones: Celebrations for our first two members to attend 3,000 classes. Complete with embroidered gifts of a FITT 60126 golf bag and FITT 3000 shoes to recognize the momentous achievements.
