Strength is a quality both Dolls aspire to for themselves and for Dolls everywhere. Whether that strength is physical or emotional – sometimes it takes a community to help get you there. You can find the Dolls in a fitness class at least three times per week… and this summer you can find the two best friends immersing themselves across the country with their favorite fitness festival – Strength in the City.
It feels so good to get our hearts pumping, our bodies moving as our minds clear during a good workout. The best part to us is that we’re together! The community message around Strength in the City is what we fell in love with last year in Chicago.
Shop our adorable pink camo pants from Onzie (ON SALE) here and these pink adidas sliders are a steal.
The goal of Strength in the City is to provide a fun experience through fitness, no matter your age or experience level. STIC has a unique event set up… let’s dive into it — Traverse is the area of the fest where you can find and obstacle course and compete against yourself or your tribe for the best time possible. The Revive stage hosts yoga and is the place to stretch and recover. The Elevate stage will get your heat beat racing with the best local trainers around your town providing HIIT training. Nutritional and Wellness workshops are provided to answer questions that you may have about the topic and will have you feeling inspired to make some healthy lifestyle changes. The Garden of Growth is comfy & quiet which provides you with a space to unplug and enjoy pure serenity. Lastly, Vendor Village is the spot to score free swag from brands you may know and it’s a great place to discover some new favorites.
We already checked out the Chicago Kickoff and have all the activities to report back on:
The event was outside at Gibsons Italia on the river and it was everything we dreamed of… friends, fitness & food!
With one of our favorite blogger babes, Jen from Cranberry Tantrums!
After a two-mile fun run we had an amazing yoga practice on the lawn overlooking the river. It was the perfect Chicago Spring day!
After our workout we enjoyed Gibsons Italia brunch and a Michelob Ultra… we earned it! It was the best transition from morning to afternoon fun.
This years fit-fest kicked off in Chicago and is traveling to a city near you… And guess what — So are we! Cait and Dani are hitting the road with Strength in The City. Our goal is to soak up and share the vibrant energy of the cities below with anyone and everyone who wants to join.
We wouldn’t leave town without our Calpak carry on… find this one at Nordstrom Rack.
Just a heads up, there is going to be a lot of laughs and you may go home feeling really, really good!

Most of the fitness festival is outdoors so we recommend doing a few things in order to prep for the SITC fitness festival:
1) Hydrate – Environmentally friendly Dolls are the best Dolls! We recently took the Plastic Free Pledge with boxed water. Plastic bottles are filling our earth and oceans at an alarming rate. 1500 plastic bottles are sent to landfills every second. By taking the No-Plastic Pledge, you’ll be joining the movement against plastic bottle consumption and doing your part for a #BetterPlanet. We will be sipping on our boxed water at as many events as possible. We also encourage you to bring a refillable bottle to the events — It’s just as effective!
2) Sun Protection – Must we explain how harmful the suns rays are for Dolls and Guys? Probably not but we can explain that your usual sunscreen isn’t providing you with real protection, it’s actually causing more damage by entering your blood stream and recking havoc on your hormones. It’s time to switch to Caribbean Sol mineral sunscreen. Cait and Dani have both been using this brand for just over a year an approve, approve, approve of you to make the switch. #ChoosemineralsnotChemicals

I love the focus on strength, both physical and mental and I love that there are events that are set up to help us with all this. Just sad to see there’s no NYC event. I do have friends in Denver…maybe a quick trip could work 😉
Always beautiful, always hilarious, always in shape!
you two look so adorable! Oh and the matching outfit so so cute!!! Glad you had so much fun.
I love that the adidas sliders have made a comeback. Also, how cute are the two of youi!?
Oh my gosh! How cute are you two in your matching outfits. Sounds like a fun event for sure!
You ladies are so cute! I love the outfits. This sounds like an amazing event!!
Hahaha I love that you all enjoyed a beer after your workout! I would totally be down for that kind of a workout. This event looks awesome!
Looks like such a fun fitness event there. I know that my daughter would probably have a lot of fun going to one when it comes out to San Diego. Looks great.
Adding a fun element to exercise always motivates me! This looks awesome and I would love to attend! Thanks for sharing.
Great ideas and what a fantastic community!! I zoomed in on the pink camp pants. Too cute!!!
y’all are way too adorable together. I love the matching leggings!
Ya’ll are adorable all matchy-matchy. I love that luggage as well. I’m pretty sure I couldn’t run a foot after doing yoga so I’m really impressed with your distance.
That pink color design is cool. I missed out my Chicago plan this year. That cute bad goes well along your outfits. Fitness events are so motivating ones.
Looks super interesting and like a fun time. Thanks for sharing.
