3 out of 5 college women say they feel uncomfortable using the weight room…

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 a survey with over 900+ college women, representing 103 universities across the United States to determine the impact we are having on college campuses – check out how CHAARG can change your campus below 👇

Don’t take our word for it — here’s what our members are saying:

CHAARG at my campus has given me new friends + new confidence when going to the rec! I love having CHAARG on campus. I look forward to Small Groups every week + the Weekly Workouts. It is just so fun to go out + try new things with friends that all love to better themselves!

Marissa BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY
CHAARG has allowed me to fully love + care for myself in ways I wasn't doing before! it’s created a sense of belonging on campus + in gyms! I love every second of it!

Peyton University of Kentucky
CHAARG has been a substantial part of my college journey. I seriously could not imagine my life without it! It has provided me with a positive environment + community to try new workouts, make new friends, + gain more leadership experiences! CHAARG has my heart.

Alyssa University of New Hampshire
CHAARG has been a wonderful opportunity to both meet new people + to try new workout classes. I've loved all of the girls I've met + have made so many new friends who I can now go to non-CHAARG related workouts with, + generally spend time with. It's been a great experience!

Addison Arizona State University
I have made such wonderful friendships through CHAARG, + I feel great about myself! Not only does working out make your physical health better, but the social aspect helps my mental health!

Makenzie TEXAS A+M UNIVERSITY
Before joining CHAARG I was much more insecure about my body and being in the gym surrounded by other people. Now I have more confidence in myself and have also gained more friends to go to the gym with or to even just get coffee with or go on a walk. It has also opened me up to many more opportunities on campus.

Caroline UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
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
CHARRG has made me more confident in general. I came from a small town, + it’s easy to feel small + unimportant at a large university. This group has made me feel like I was a part of something. I love all the girls + this group has been more than I would’ve ever thought of when I signed up for it the first week.

HOW CHAARG INCREASES CAMPUS REC CENTER USAGE

💌 Promote Rec Center Classes + Events: Exec leaders can share the rec center class schedule + upcoming events in their weekly Chapter newsletter. This is a great way to spread the word about what’s going on at your campus rec center!

👯‍♀️ GroupChat Promo Classes: 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)!

💪 Weight Room Classes w/ Campus Rec Staff: 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.

🏋🏻‍♀️ Let’s Work Together! 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!
