Fight For Air Climb Chicago |

555 W Madison St, Chicago 60661 • 312-441-0836 |
|
|
| |
Description:
Perhaps your New Year's resolution to lose the aftermath of the holiday sweets has failed you. If that's the case or even if you're one of those year round health nuts, Climb Chicago is an event for everyone. Climbing the stairs of a skyscraper may sound like a nutty idea, but believe it or not, the average time for 45 flights of stairs is just twelve minutes! This kind of work-out time sounds like an infomercial claim but, the best part about the climb is that it benefits the American Lung Association of Illinois. Now occurring in major cities throughout the US, Chicago's Presidential Towers are by far, the coolest location. |
