Fitness Group Attempting To Break World Record At Wrigley Field

CHICAGO — In honor of ALS Awareness Month, many looking to get fit in time for summer will flock to Wrigley Field May 18 for a fundraiser that aims to break a world record. Orangetheory Fitness is hoping to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records with the World's Largest HIIT Workout.

The fitness company aims to raise $500,000 for Augie's Quest to Cure ALS.

The event will be held on Saturday, May 18, at 7 a.m. Gates at Wrigley Field open at 6:30 a.m., and check in begins at 7 a.m. Guests must provide a completed waiver, and gates promptly close at 8 a.m. at the start of the workout, organizers said.

An adjudicator will be appointed to monitor the event, which will feature a 60-minute high intensity interval training workout with music from world-renowned DJ NOA|AON. An after-party will be held post-workout.

Participants will have the opportunity to work out at several locations inside and outside the ballpark, including the bullpens, Gallagher Way and the concourses.

Tickets are now available online and can be purchased at www.worldslargesthiitclass.com. Ticket prices vary from $50 to $200. Participants must be at least 18 years old.

In advance of the World’s Largest HIIT Workout, the Cubs and Orangetheory Fitness are teaming up to offer fans a Special Ticket for the Cubs-Cardinals game Sunday, May 5. Fans who purchase a ticket through this offer will receive a Cubs and Orangetheory Fitness water bottle.
