CHAARG IS HERE TO CHANGE THAT.

WE ARE CHANGING GYM CULTURE FOR THE BETTER

CHAARG is currently at 100+ universities. We are on a mission to make fitness fun + want to empower college women to feel more comfortable + confident in the gym. Every week, our Chapters partner with local fitness studios + campus rec centers to showcase different ways of working out, as well as go to the gym together to overcome gym-timidation. This year, we conducted our largest survey ever with over 1,500 CHAARG members to determine the impact we are having on college campuses – check out how CHAARG can change your campus below 👇

HOW CHAARG INCREASES CAMPUS REC CENTER USAGE

💌 Exec leaders can share different rec center class scheduled + upcoming events in their weekly Chapter newsletter. This is a great way to spread the word about what’s going on at your rec center!

👯‍♀️ Members can post in their groupchat what classes they plan on taking at the rec (we’ve found that students are more likely to attend classes in a group vs going alone)!

💪 Members feel more confident with utilizing the weight room + asking rec center staff for help. Some Chapters have had “weight room classes” where rec center staff show members how to use different equipment to promote safely using equipment.

🏋🏻‍♀️ We love when our teams collaborate with their rec center to showcase the unique things your campus rec center offers + increase participation + utilization of the rec center!

Don’t take our word for it — here’s what our members are saying:
  • As a freshman, CHAARG has made me feel more comfortable in a new and scary environment. It’s given me a community and a place where I can have fun around like minded women. Now, whenever I go to the gym at school I always see girls from CHAARG there too. It makes me feel so much more comfortable while at the gym! Before CHAARG I would have never thought of working out in a gym.

    Ella UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE
  • CHAARG at UCF has done some great things for me 🙂 I was never confident enough to enter a gym let alone exercise in front of other people, and now I love exercising for myself because it makes me feel great! I love documenting in my CHAARG account with what I eat, my activities with CHAARG, and my workouts. I’ve found a profound love for exercise and love for myself!

    Delaney UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA
  • CHAARG has empowered me as a woman. Before I joined CHAARG, I didn’t believe I was worthy enough or good enough to workout, because I didn’t look a certain way. After joining CHAARG, I got to be exposed to a diverse group of women which taught me that everyone deserves to work out at a gym -- no matter what you look like. It’s empowering to be around women that help build each other up.

    Hannah FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY
  • I was looking for an organization that promoted health/fitness + wellness, which would help my confidence within my body + in the gym, + I was so grateful when I found CHAARG. CHAARG truly has impacted me in a positive manner. CHAARG is one of my favorite organizations I am a part of, because I am so passionate about the organization's values + its mission statement.

    Rachel CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT UNIVERSITY
  • Joining CHAARG has been the best decision I've made since I have gotten to college. CHAARG girls are some of the nicest + most supportive girls I've ever met. The friendships that CHAARG has given me are some of my best connections I've made since I've been in college. I am so very grateful that I joined CHAARG. I will continue to encourage other girls to join because it truly is such a great organization.

    Allison UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI
  • Joining CHAARG has been the best decision I've ever made. I love being a part of such a supportive group of girls + I love that I get the opportunity to do all the fun things CHAARG allows me to do. being in CHAARG has made me more outgoing + comfortable talking to people that I don't know. It's so nice to meet people who have similar interests to me!

    Kaydee PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY
  • In high school I was a three sport athlete + I had fallen out of touch with my athletic side. In addition, I have had a hard time being completely comfortable with campus in regards to friends. After joining CHAARG, I have changed a lot + have gotten much more confident in myself in general. CHAARG has helped me so much + I'm so glad to be a part of this strong + empowering group of women.
