Feel the burn! Taste the sweat! Get the swag!
Union Square Sweat Fest is back and, now in its sixth year, better than ever.
Union Square is home to more than 100 top-flight health and wellness destinations, with creative concepts like salt rooms, team rowing and blacklight boxing pushing the boundaries and setting the trends. Sweat Fest is a once-a-year opportunity to sample from the best — a fitness flight to keep New Year’s resolutions going strong.
The event begins Thurs., Feb. 6, and runs through Tues., Feb. 11, and will feature six signature Sweat Fest Experiences, highlighting more than 25 local partners.
“Sweat Fest allows New Yorkers to get a taste of Union Square’s multifaceted and robust health and wellness scene and find out about the latest fitness classes and trends,” said Jennifer Falk, executive director of the Union Square Partnership. “From new studios and top instructors to only-in-Union-Square experiences, Sweat Fest is the celebration of Union Square as New York City’s fitness epicenter.”
Sweat Fest Signature Experiences are back this year featuring six curated, unique-to-Union-Square events that tie boutique fitness studios to the healthy food and wellness scene:
