For their product launch, Vea Fitness teamed up with Austin, TX-based Snap Kitchen, The One Stop, Healthy Meal Shop and Premier Food Sponsor of Philly Free Streets, as well as the City of Philadelphia, the same group that plans the Philadelphia Marathon. The three are working together to produce Philly Free Streets, an event in which over 10 miles of the City are car-free, and open for residents to walk, run, bike, skate, and stroller through, from South Street up to Fairmount Park area.
“We’re thrilled to gather the Philadelphia around wellness and exercise at Philly Free Streets, and are hoping to make fitness more approachable by rewarding users for working out.” Jonathan Maxim, CEO Vea Fitness
Snap Kitchen Marketing Manager Beth Lawrence adds, “We’re incredibly excited to help bring this day of healthy, active transportation to life, with the City of Philadelphia and Vea Fitness. Users can engage with Vea Fitness to earn rewards from Snap Kitchen, the City of Philadelphia and other local and national brands, all while challenging themselves and discovering new and exciting things along the route.”
The event includes over 40 healthy, fun activities for participants along the way, including yoga, salsa lessons, bootcamp-style workouts, arts, music and more. There is also a concert at the end located in Sweet Briar Park.
Vea Fitness, a core event sponsor, is The Official App of Philly Free Streets. Participants earn rewards during the event by downloading the Vea Fitness app, and taking fitness Challenges. Each Challenge has an associated reward, such as “Walk 1mi, and earn a free workout tank top”. Challenges range from .5 to 5 miles, and are suited for most skill levels and body types.
