At CNKDaily, sneakers have created a platform of ‘Chickspiration’. Between our Chick Chats, SneakHER Guides, and even SneakHer Closet series’ – we strive to bridge a gap between diverse groups of women through our passions and everyday lifestyles. In doing this, we believe that sneakHERs brings you to us but community is why you stay.

While we share a common bond of kicks, they also serve as a universal language and potential to collaborate with other great brands. This year, we had the opportunity to participate in different fitness trainings that not only promoted strength, but teamwork and empowerment. Therefore, it was only right to create a #SweatwithCNK initiative that we could invite our ladies to.

Through a partnership with Houston Independent School District and CIGNA, we hosted a fitness class in Houston at Barry’s Bootcamp that was just as fun as it was challenging.

The day started with our guests arriving at Barry’s, getting checked in, and placing orders at the smoothie bar for some post-workout protein. CIGNA x HISD x CNK had some great freebies for everyone to grab as we got acquainted with one another and Barry’s beautiful facility. We spoke about the importance of living an active lifestyle and taking care of your body through informative wellness initiatives.

Then it was time to head into the Red Room to get our sweat on. Even though the class was an hour long HIIT workout, it catered to all fitness levels. If we were beginners (like myself), we could modify moves with the help of the instructor and go at our own pace. Regardless of our levels of activity, we all encouraged one another as the music kept us hyped up and pushing forward.

After the workout, everyone refueled with their protein-packed smoothie and discussed how we all survived the class. CIGNA and NIKE provided some amazing raffle prize giveaways and VIP gifts. Through our meet and greet, we met ladies who were former professional athletes, content creators, and everyday women looking to transform their health one step at a time.

Let us know what #SweatwithCNK event you would like to see in your city, and we hope that you will join us for our next one.
