Community & Fundraising
Power in Community.
We’re committed to building more than physical strength. We’re here to help build a stronger community, too.
From local 5Ks and charity walks to CrossFit competitions, yoga pop-ups, and Bolt-hosted events like The Bolt Combine, we love sharing our passion for fitness and wellness with Chicago.

Featured FunDRaising Event
Sarah’s Circle
An organization dedicated to helping women secure supportive housing, access safe community spaces, and meet basic needs while finding permanent housing. Many of the women they serve have experienced homelessness due to domestic violence, chronic illness and medical debt, family trauma, and other destabilizing life events.
In honor of Women's History Month and Mental Health Awareness in March, Bolt Fitness hosted an Olympic Weightlifting event, Platform for Power, which raised a whopping $7,769 for Sarah's Circle.
Fundraising in Action.
We use fitness as a force for good. Through charity workouts, community events, donation drives, and member-led initiatives, Bolt Fitness helps raise funds and awareness for organizations creating real impact across Chicago. Every rep, step, and show of support helps move our community forward.
