SweatCon Rally flips the script on a bar crawl and instead of drinking 175 participants will sweat at boutique fitness studios around the city. Completing three thirty minute classes at three different studios back-to-back-to-back. From Dupont Circle to Shaw we’ve partnered with 15 of the hottest boutique studios including Corepower Yoga, Solidcore, Cut Seven, Orangetheory, and Cyclebar.
Prior to kicking off the work outs, we will throw a kick-ass check-in party featuring like-minded brands to create a unique experience for all attendees. This year the new 880P will host the check-in party with a GLAMSQUAD braid bar, sweetgreen salad bar, juice bar by JRINK, animated GIF booth courtesy ofMINDBODY, DJ and shopping courtesy of our title sponsor Reebok. Each participant will receive a complimentary event tank top as well as a swag filled with goodies from RX Bar, Progenex, High Brew Coffee, Vita Coco and more.
Over the last three years we have put on three SweatCon Rally events in Boston. The first hosting 30 people, then 200 and the most recent event with 450 participates (selling out in five days with a waitlist of 250 people). Building off the success of Boston we knew it was time to bring this event to more cities. This spring came to Boston (4/28), New York (5/12) and now Washington, D.C. (6/16).
