Thousands attend free sunrise pilates

Every Friday at sunrise, thousands gather at Oak Street Beach in Chicago, Illinois, not for a swim — but for planks, leg pullbacks, and community. The growing crowd is part of Rise Pilates Club, a free weekly fitness event that’s quickly becoming a viral sensation thanks to social media. Founded by 25-year-old Olivia Santelli, the club aims to make wellness more accessible to everyone in the city. #pilates #sport #beach #chicago #sunrise #wellbeing
