The Faces of Fitness festival will take place on Saturday, July 26 and Sunday, July 27 in the River North area of downtown Chicago. The event will feature multiple stages with different classes and coaches, offering attendees the ability to sample various modalities, formats, and workouts. It is formatted like a music festival, but with a focus on fitness.

Jess will be teaching a 30 minute HIIT Cardio class on Sunday, July 27 at 10:45am on the main stage, teaching a live class while Sam Feldt – a Dutch DJ and record producer – provides live music. According to the Instagram post:

Tickets are not yet available for sale, but they will be released on Saturday, May 3 at 9:00am CST. Last year’s ticket prices ranged between $50-$65; however, entering the code “YMCA” upon checkout provided a $10 discount. In addition, a portion of all sales benefitted Urban Initiatives, a non-profit organization that empowers young people through sport and play.

Instructor Tunde Oyeneyin appeared at this event last year. This followed an announcement regarding the expansion of Peloton’s partnership with YMCA Chicago, which first launched in 2023. Instructor Ash Pryor appeared at an event in correlation with the partnership announcement.
