Girl Get After It:
A Women's Community in
Chicago, IL
New to Chicago, or just ready to meet your people?

With a whole city to play in, our events run from casual coffee walks to more intense workouts, all aimed at being as inclusive as possible.

What We Get After in Chicago
The trails are our home base. You'll find us running, walking, and biking the 606 and the Lakefront Trail, usually with coffee before or after at THRD, and posted up for concrete-step hangs when the weather's right. We keep it cozy at Kibbitznest Books, Brews and Blarney, grab pints at off color brewing, and shop local at the Green City and Wicker Park farmers markets. Because the city is basically unlimited, our calendar is too, which means there's almost always something that fits your pace and your mood.

In addition to covering operating costs, we charge a small fee because it allows our members to take ownership and commit fully to this community
Let’s face it, we’ve all been a part of those free Facebook groups before. You know - the ones you join but never actually go to anything or connect with anyone? Yeah… those! GGAI is not another Facebook group, and we’re so proud of the engagement and interaction our communities have.
Accessibility is crucial to us. If the membership fee is out of your budget, please reach out to us at hello@girlgetafterit.com and we’d be happy to chat through an option that works for you.
-
We are a women-focused community and welcome all people who are comfortable being in women-centered spaces.
-
All over the city. We run, walk, and bike the 606 and the Lakefront Trail, grab coffee at THRD, hang at Kibbitznest Books, Brews and Blarney, drink at Off Color Brewing, and shop the Green City and Wicker Park farmer's markets.
-
About twice a month, with a mix that ranges from casual coffee walks to more intense workouts, plus plenty of member-led mini meetups in between.
-
We’re obsessed with trying new things, so you name it and we’ve probably done it!
We love the wellness, fitness and outdoor space - everything from workouts and mental health to outdoor adventures with friends. Our events welcome all ability levels and are low-key, fun and take the intimidation out of doing it alone.
-
GGAI is for all adult ages! We have members who are 18 years old up to 62, with the majority of our members being in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
We value intergenerational friendships and believe connecting with women from all walks of life is so important.
*members must be 18 years of age to join
-
The majority of our events are completely free. There are some instances where activities require having certain equipment (skis, paddle board, rentals etc) which we leave up to the attendees to bring.
Then, every once in a while studios/hosts we partner with will offer our community a reduced class or workshop fee, often way cheaper than the usual rate.
-
We think this is for you if…
→ you want to meet new friends, but don't know where to start
→ you love wellness — everything from working up a sweat to working on your mental health
→ you want to try new things and step outside of your comfort zone
→ you’ve tried all the friendship apps, but realized that…they’re kind of awkward
→ giving back and making a difference is important to you
→ maybe you’ve moved to a new city and want to dive into your local community
-
Join one of our walks or runs on the 606. We're an intimate, inclusive group that values real quality time, so it's an easy place to connect, even in a big city. No experience or fitness level required.
-
Not at all. Our events span casual walks and coffee hangs all the way to harder workouts, with room for every pace and interest.
Let’s be friends!
