Joining the Chaarg chapter at my school, has been one of the best decisions I've made at college. Chaarg is a health and wellness community at more than 50 Universities across America. Its focus is to connect young women with others who enjoy trying out different types of workouts, as well as providing an uplifting sense of community. It was founded with the purpose to ignite a passion for health and fitness in college women, and to break away from the typical, boring elliptical workout routine.
Every week Chaarg hosts a studio spotlight, where a local studio or trainer will come and lead a workout. Other times, Chaarg will go to a studio or gym. This has been a great way to try new workouts, such as HIIT, Barre, Pound, Yoga, and more. Every week you also meet with your small group, to do more personalized workouts, grab coffee or study together. What I love about Chaarg is that you really get out of it, what you put into it. Everything is optional, so you can attend events around your school schedule.
Chaarg also hosts different social events throughout the semester, so that you can connect with other members outside of the workouts. Some events include potlucks, orchard trips, and movie nights. Even if fitness is not your passion, I would really encourage girls to try out their Chaarg chapter, just for the sake of being surrounded by very positive and uplifting people. Give it a chance, and you may just find a new exercise routine or friend!
