First Saturdays

Coalition Strength & Conditioning (map)

In the spirit of collectiveness, the first Saturday of every month we encourage our member community to bring along a friend (or two or three...you get where we're going with this). All friends fly free - no strings attached other than a waiver.

Available for all Functional Fitness classes, as well as Barbell Club for OLY/powerlifters.

Coalition x PAWS Fundraiser Workout & Pet Photo Shoot

Coalition Strength & Conditioning (map)

Join us on May 10th for a fun, team-based workout & fundraiser supporting PAWS Chicago!

How it Works:

Grab two friends and form a team of three to tackle the workout during any of our three Saturday classes (7:45 AM, 9:00 AM, & 10:15 AM). All fitness levels are welcome it’s a great way to sweat for a cause.

Donate Physical Items
Prefer to donate items instead? PAWS accepts a variety of supplies—you can find the full list here.
We’ve set up a donation box behind the front desk (it’s the one with paw prints—you can’t miss it!). Drop off any donations there before event day.

pet photo shoot – 9:30-11:30 AM

We’re hosting a Pet Photo Shoot so you and your furry friend can get some amazing pictures while supporting PAWS!

How it Works:
The shoot runs from 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM, giving you time to participate in the workout first, then grab your pet and come back—or vice versa: bring your pet for photos first, drop them off at home, and then come back to get your sweat on.

A sign-up list for time slots will be posted closer to the event.

Each participant will receive 3-5 professionally edited photos via email within 48 hours (by EOD Monday night). You might also see your furry friend pop up on our social media feed as we highlight the fun-filled day!

To participate, we ask for a minimum donation of $5—but feel free to give more! 100% of proceeds go to PAWS.

Important Pet Guidelines

We absolutely encourage you to bring your pets! However:

  • ALL PETS must remain outside the gym at all times.

  • Pets must be on a leash and supervised by their owner or a designated friend at all times.

Get ready for a day full of fitness, fun, and furry friends—all for a great cause! 🐾
