Our Story
Early historyFor many people, running isn’t just an exercise form, it’s a way of life. However, training solo can prove to be a lonely and tedious hobby. At race time, many runners feel a “high” from participating in something larger than themselves. This concept inspired our founders to recreate this fitness experience in a more accessible way.
So...We got building. We hired one of the best UI/UX designers in Chicago and tested a variety of audio solutions before we came up with something that met our standards. We started recruiting trainers, but only the best talent. We worked with over 100 beta testers to modify and adapt our program to create the perfect experience. Some of them loved it so much they decided to become brand ambassadors. The results were fantastic. (Check out some of the quotes below.)
...And finallyWe had something to be proud of. We created a brand that’s infused with a sense of welcoming and community. Our logo represents that while you may have to run alone, you should never have to feel like you're running alone.
At Charge, we have redefined running to align with our human instincts to connect and compete. Join one of our 10 live classes each day with dozens of other people, run with your friends from anywhere in the country, or get competitive and join a race - because as we all know running alone sucks!
Our goal is to build a story that goes beyond our product and our team. We want our story to be about you, the goals you set, and the differences you can make. Charge Running is breaking the rules and changing the game, and it starts and ends with you.
