How have you been Changed By CHAARG?
CHAARG has changed me because it has given me the freedom to move in new ways, but also allowed me to always have a workout buddy. Our chapter is super active + I have made my best friends through CHAARG, honestly. What you get out of CHAARG is what you put into it — if you’re an active member + go to events, you’ll have way more fun than if you don’t. CHAARG gave me a safe space to be my healthiest self + to safely get back into shape after both surgeries
